Despite the identical time, it will be the Mercedes of Russell that lines up at the front of the pack as he finished his lap before the Dutch racer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Upon finishing on the pole for the first time since 2022 (Hungarian Gp), the Englishman expressed his joy at the result. \"Oh, amazing. It feels so good, it feels so good! So much hard work back at the factory has gone into this. We said it in Monaco, we hope this is the start of something for our season, and I think it is. I\u2019ve missed this feeling! It\u2019s awesome here. Every time we come to Montreal it\u2019s such good energy from all the fans. I\u2019m excited for tomorrow. Obviously, the first step\u2019s done, but now we\u2019ve got our eyes on that win,\u201d said Russell in the post-race interview.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Mercedes will be hoping for a clean race start and hope that the new upgrades that they introduced at Monaco will keep Russell ahead of Verstappen's Red Bull as they aim to secure their first win of the season.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"Why not? Of course, let\u2019s go for it. I think the car\u2019s been feeling amazing. Since we brought some upgrades to Monaco, we\u2019ve sort of really been in that fight now, so we\u2019re going for it tomorrow!\u201d added the British pole sitter.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Hamilton\u2019s woes continued as the seven-time world champion finished seventh in qualifying and did not manage to keep up with the pace of his teammate.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"Ah, I just wasn\u2019t really quick in qualifying, I lost a ton of time. I reckon I lost half a second, probably going into qualifying. Just the grip wasn\u2019t there. I didn\u2019t make any changes to the car. All of a sudden the grip\u2019s not there,\" said a dejected Hamilton.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2024\/06\/weve-got-our-eyes-on-that-win-says-russell-after-first-mercedes-pole-since-2022.jpg", "alt_img": "'We've got our eyes on that win', says Russell after first Mercedes pole since 2022", "alt_title": "'We've got our eyes on that win', says Russell after first Mercedes pole since 2022", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "'We've Got Our Eyes On That Win', Says Russell After First Mercedes Pole Since 2022 On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "'We've Got Our Eyes On That Win', Says Russell After First Mercedes Pole Since 2022, Canadian Grand Prix: Canadian Grand Prix qualifying session was an exciting one with George Russell and Max Verstappen both finishing.", "seo_keywords": "George Russell, Canadian Grand Prix, Max Verstappen, Lando Norris, Hungarian Gp, Red Bull", "tag": "", "tagging": "George Russell, Canadian Grand Prix, Max Verstappen, Lando Norris, Hungarian Gp, Red Bull", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "weve-got-our-eyes-on-that-win-says-russell-after-first-mercedes-pole-since-2022", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "647", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "0", "created": "2024-06-09 15:48:05", "updated": "2024-06-09 15:48:05", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "George Russell, Canadian Grand Prix, Max Verstappen, Lando Norris, Hungarian Gp, Red Bull", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2024-06-09 15:48:05", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "0", "breaking_news": "0", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "sports_name": "motorsports", "cnmid": "913868", "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/sports-news\/weve-got-our-eyes-on-that-win-says-russell-after-first-mercedes-pole-since-2022-15837" }
