Struggles in rainy conditions Russell finished 10th in the British Grand Prix F1 race at Silverstone Circuit on Sunday.
Impact Russell put together a strong performance in qualifying to line up fourth on the grid. However, he was aggressive multiple times in the grand prix by running slick tires in rainy conditions, dropping him to the bottom of the points range. Russell didn't have the pace to contend with the McLaren drivers for a win, but this was a wasted opportunity for additional points.

Finishes fifth at Austrian GP Russell finished fifth in the Austrian Grand Prix F1 race at Red Bull Ring on Sunday.
Impact Russell's Mercedes typically performs better in cooler weather, as the team's struggles with tire wear are masked. That left him without the desired pace in a warm Austrian Grand Prix weekend, though he still managed to finish the best of any non-Ferrari or McLaren driver. This marked Russell's worst result since the Monaco Grand Prix, but he still climbed to within nine points of Max Verstappen for third place in the driver standings.

Impact The Canadian Grand Prix winner carried that momentum into this first practice of the Austrian Grand Prix weekend. Russell led the early part of this practice and he would post a lap of 1:05.542 near the end to capture the top of the timesheets. The Mercedes star would edge Verstappen by just 0.065-seconds to lead the way on soft tyres. Russell has the early pace on the Red Bull Ring and looks like a strong contender to win Sunday in Austria.

Wins Canadian Grand Prix Russell has clinched Mercedes' first victory of the season in the Canadian Grand Prix, a race that ended in dramatic style after a collision between McLaren team mates Oscar Piastr...
Impact Russell would get away well at the lights out and build a gap back to Max Verstappen. The race would feature differing strategies of stops and the Mercedes star would opt for a short opening stint and two stops to establish his spot at the front. The grand prix would get spicy at the end with the McLarens making contact and Norris crashing, so the race would finish under caution. Russell would cross the finish line first and pick up his first win of the season and fourth-career victory.

Impact Russell would advance to Q3 and in the initial runs would only manage P3. The Mercedes star would come in and bolt on medium tyres for his final flying laps and it would end up propelling him to pole position over Verstappen. Russell would log a lap of 1:10.899 and bump Verstappen off pole by just over one-tenth in the closing moments of qualifying. It was his first pole position of the season and seventh-career pole.

Impact Another unusual practice would mark Friday at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. Charles Leclerc would not participate due to his earlier FP1 crash and that would seem to set the tone for a very tricky session. Just 5 minutes in Lance Stroll would crash. The Sliver Arrows would rise to the top with Russell turning a lap of 1:12.123 and his teammate, Kimi Antonelli, coming in P3 in the session at just two-tenths back. Russell looks like a podium threat for Sunday's Canadian Grand Prix.

Dramatic fourth place in Spain Russell finished fourth in the Spanish Grand Prix F1 race at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya on Sunday.
Impact Russell delivered a needed strong weekend after a disappointing finish at Monaco. He both qualified and finished fourth, though the end of his race was hardly routine. A safety car bunched up the field with around six green-flag laps remaining, and Russell got into a heated battle with Max Verstappen for fourth position. Verstappen appeared to be conceding the spot after gaining an advantage off track, but he then drove into the side of Russell -- seemingly intentionally. Russell got away without injury or significant damage, allowing him to record his best finish since the Miami Grand Prix.

Qualifying cut short Russell finished 11th at the Monaco Grand Prix F1 race at Circuit de Monaco on Sunday.
Impact Russell was likely to reach Q3 until his engine unexpectedly cut out before he was able to set a time in Q2. That left him to start 14th on the grid, with a significant challenge to reach the top 10. He did manage to make up ground after taking a penalty for cutting track limits to pass Alex Albon in traffic, which turned into a net gain for Russell, though he still failed to score points in a race weekend for the first time this season.

Suffers from tire degradation Russell finished seventh at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix F1 race at Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari on Sunday.
Impact Russell seemed to be in for a strong weekend, as he began the race on the second row and just over one-tenth of a second off the pace of Oscar Piastri. However, tire wear quickly became a problem during the race as he was forced to shed his medium tires early on, while his top competitors were able to wait until a virtual safety car on Lap 29 to make their first change. Russell was caught in dirty air the rest of the grand prix, with the result being his worst finish of the year.
