30 minutes to the start: Comment from George Russell

      George Russell starts fifth and hopes for rain...

      George Russell: "Definitely, I prefer racing on a wet track in Miami than on dry asphalt. I like the configuration itself, but I can't say the same about the track surface; it doesn't provide good grip, and that's been the case since the very first year we started racing here.

      I always have big difficulties on this track, although other drivers handle them perfectly, which I congratulate them on, including my teammate. However, let's see what the weather will be like.

      I hope my experience will help me, although racing in such conditions always drags on. In the past, races held in changeable weather have often been quite interesting, but I repeat: we are in for a long day, and we'll see what it brings us. It seems to be more or less dry now, but they promise that heavy rain will start in an hour."
