Wins Canadian GP Pole Russell has stormed to pole position in qualifying for the Canadian Grand Prix, the Mercedes man beating Max Verstappen and Oscar Piastri in the final moments to take P1 on the med...
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.

FIA suspends steward for Canadian Grand Prix over Verstappen penalty comments

Formula 1’s governing body has suspended a driver steward for this weekend’s Canadian Grand Prix over comments he made regarding a penalty Max Verstappen received two weeks ago

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.

Back on Podium in Miami Russell finished third in the Miami Grand Prix Formula 1 race at the Miami International Autodrome on Sunday afternoon.
Impact The Mercedes veteran would start fifth on the grid and quickly pick up one spot on Lando Norris' first lap error. Russell would eventually give that position back on lap 7 but would stay forward thinking in his racing from that point on. A mid-race caution and safety car would be played perfectly by Russell and his team and he'd move up to P3 by his lap 29 pit stop. He would hold onto that track position although he'd fall well behind both McLarens on the final dash to the finish. It was Russell's fourth podium of the season.
