Being able to appear in this position is truly rare; this is Russell's first front-row start in his career.
Although everyone doubts that Russell's overtakes will increase significantly after the race starts tomorrow, being in this position for the qualifying session is enough to demonstrate Russell's strength.
Tomorrow's race is very likely to see rain, so there will be no DRS on the track. If Russell can maintain the same car performance he had today, with how difficult it has been for all drivers this season, the probability of him finishing with a good result is very high.
What the audience doesn't know is that after achieving this qualifying position, Russell is happier and more excited than anyone could have imagined.
Last season, there were rumors in the paddock that Russell was about to join Mercedes.
But with Qin Miao's sudden rise, those rumors were completely dispelled.
