Summary
George Russell fought hard in qualifying at the Spanish Grand Prix, finishing sixth while teammate Kimi Antonelli soared to second—just three tenths behind. Russell led early but lost ground later, blaming overambition and a brush with the wall in Q1 that didn’t hurt his pace. Mercedes boss Toto Wolff highlighted setup chaos, including rear axle overheating and front wing tweaks that shook confidence. With 66 points behind Antonelli, Russell’s race hopes hinge on tire durability—potentially delivering either a calm or wild showdown depending on how rubber holds up.
