And on Friday afternoon, when it mattered, it was George Russell who delivered the products to take pole for the Dash at Zandvoort.
That was a heck of a lap from George Russell. The place did that tempo come from?
It had been constructing from observe, the place the Mercedes driver popped as much as third, simply over a tenth of a second off the tempo set by his group mate and championship chief Kimi Antonelli.
Come Dash Qualifying, he was there or thereabouts (fifth and fourth respectively) within the first two phases of the session on the medium tyres.
