Cricket tip George Russell: We need to try to get into the top 5
Russell was pleased with Friday`s practice ahead of the Monaco Grand Prix.
The Mercedes driver said that he was satisfied with the pace of the car, and that the only problem was the unexpected shaking of the car when braking during long-distance training.
As soon as I touched the brakes, everything around me began to shake. I don`t know what was the matter. I did everything I could to hold onto the steering wheel, clinging to it like a gorilla. But he continued to shake.
On a track like this, where you need confidence to attack, things like that really get in the way. So we decided it would be better to take a break from the long run and return to the pits to analyze what was happening.
Overall the car worked well today. In the first practice we were third, then Lewis showed the second time. Obviously the machine works well. But Charles Leclerc was very far ahead. We know how quickly things can change, but today was one of the best Fridays, hands down.
The feeling from the car was the best for the entire time that I competed in Monaco. So we have a lot of reasons to be positive. Goal for qualification? Try to get into the top 5. Although, everything changes very quickly, so there may be surprises, " Russell said.
