George Russell reacts to his shock Austrian GP victory:

“I think it was a tough fight out there at the beginning of the race. Just to hold on to that P3, I saw on the TV that Max and Lando were going pretty hard. I knew Lando would watch if I got that race win, but he seemed to have done an amazing job because he was in this fight. You’ve got to be there at the end of a pick of the pieces, and that’s what we were,”

“I couldn’t believe how close we were to Lando and Max, who I think was only about 12, 13 seconds behind. I knew it was a possibility. The team have worked so hard. We’ve made so many strides since the start of the season. The last three races have been incredible. So, more to come. I think it’s no secret that Red Bull with Max and McLaren with Lando are still a little bit out in front, but we’re always putting ourselves in that third-place position.”

“I think we’re riding a bit of a wave at the moment. These last three races have been incredible. I think, realistically, we probably could have won the race in Canada. So this probably makes up for one too many mistakes on my side there.”
