George Russell just landed his second consecutive third-place finish this season. He repeated his Melbourne podium in Shanghai with a solid run.
Russell said the third-place team finish is a great result. He’s happy because McLaren’s cars were faster, but they got important points.
They figured out they could finish with just one pit stop early in the race. It was easier than expected, Russell said.
Russell praised Mercedes’ performance all weekend. The car was great from the start, he said. This might be one of his best F1 weekends in terms of track performance. He’s really happy.
