Wolff: “When I saw the yellow flag I was very angry, Russell did an incredible lap”

What emotions at the Red Bull Ring. Qualifying at the Red Bull Ring is always adrenaline-filled and those in 2026 were no exception, concluding with a more unique than rare epilogue. George Russell obtained an incredible pole position if you consider that he was faster than Charles Leclerc despite lifting his foot in the last sector due to the yellow flag forced by Max Verstappen’s exit from the track. Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff commented on George Russell’s pole position as follows to F1 TV: “When I saw the yellow flag I thought it was over, I was super angry, I saw Antonelli lift his foot and then Russell signed the pole, he truly did an incredible lap, lifting his foot just enough.” “Antonelli was fast, but Russell would still have been ahead of Kimi – added Wolff regarding the internal comparison between the two – I understand Antonelli’s frustration, who had dominated the weekend until now before the yellow flag”.
