He has the chance to tie Hamilton for a second victory in 2024.Asked what he attributes his outstanding performance to, the 26-year-old revealed an interesting trick he uses to prepare for qualifying.

“I took a nap before the qualification,” said Russell. “I was a little sleepy and woke up, and confirmed that I was in the rush state at the end of my qualification. He strategised and executed the race to perfection, beating Hamilton to the finish line, but a post-race fuel check led to his disqualification.
