100 minutes until the start: George Russell's comment

      George Russell will start in Singapore from pole and hopes for victory…

      George Russell: "It's very important to get the first corner right, but I even took an umbrella with me to the drivers' parade, because very dark clouds are gathering on the horizon. Of course, there was already a storm here this morning, so nothing can be guaranteed.

      Obviously, starting from the first position on this track is best, but the race promises to be long. Besides, the outcome of a win here is usually decided at the pit stop, but the safety car also often interferes in the course of the race.

      If someone tries to extend their stint before pitting, they'll gain an advantage if the safety car comes out. I suppose, in any case, we have to do what we have to do, considering that McLaren will be very quick; Max Verstappen is also in great form right now, so it's hard to expect that we'll be able to pull away from them — solving that will not be easy.

      And I'll say it again: pole is the most favorable starting position."
