George Russell

"It was left that we have to be trusted. This is what we do. We're drivers. We push ourselves to the limit every single lap."

"To be fair, I don't really give weight to that line."

""It's just struggling to comprehend how on earth this season has panned out in the way it has.""

"It's just one of those magic laps and I'm just so pleased, because it's been a real tough run for me."

"It's been a tough couple of months with some really tricky races, with races that felt like everything was going against me, then some races with some tough performances."

""On the flip side, the racing could be quite interesting. And on those energy-starved tracks so far, Melbourne, especially with racing, was quite exciting.""

"Story of the year, always on the back foot."

"Lap one was great, did two great overtakes in two corners. Then I got a bit left vulnerable on the next straight and got overtaken by the McLaren."

"Yesterday I was confused, but looking at the data we realised I was losing all my speed on the straight."

"'Of course it's a shame for any race to finish under the safety car. But then you go back to Abu Dhabi '21, and that is just how racing goes.'"

"There's a serious issue at play here and the team are working so hard to resolve it."

"I definitely feel this is the most resilient I've ever been in my whole life. I take pride in that as my mentality on the outside of the car."

"These new power units are just exceptionally complex, and there was just something deeply embedded in the calibration and the code that was almost impossible to see unless you knew exactly what to look for."
