Canadian Grand Prix 2024: George Russell beats Max Verstappen to pole


George Russell took Mercedes’ first pole position of the season ahead of Red Bull’s Max Verstappen at the Canadian Grand Prix.

Russell and Verstappen set identical lap times but because the Briton set it first he will start the race from first place.

Lewis Hamilton could manage only seventh in the second Mercedes as Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri locked out the second row for McLaren.

Ferrari failed to get either car into the top 10, Charles Leclerc 11th after winning last time out in Monaco, with team-mate Carlos Sainz 12th.

The second Red Bull driver Sergio Perez was knocked out in the first session for the second consecutive race – the last time he was in the top 10 on the grid was three races ago in Miami.
