## Resource

Did George Russell get a lucky break to take pole? The Mercedes driver did nothing wrong, but questions are being asked about whether race control was too slow to wave double yellow flags after Max Verstappen's crash at the end of qualifying. Harry Benjamin is joined by Sam Bird and Andrew Benson to debate the controversy, and they hear from both Russell and Verstappen.
