Montreal, May 23 ( IANS) George Russell made a strong comeback after recent setbacks by claiming pole position for the sprint race at the Canadian Grand Prix on Friday. He led a dominant front-row finish for Mercedes alongside his teammate and Formula One championship leader, Kimi Antonelli.

Russell recorded the fastest lap at Montreal’s Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, edging out Antonelli by just 0.068 seconds in sprint qualifying. This outcome was a welcome lift for Russell after a tough race in Miami and it continued Mercedes’ strong performance on sprint weekends this season.
