george russell is interviewed after the race, china - april 21, 2024 (transcript under the cut)

Interviewer: "Well, George, it's an interesting race today. A lot happened. Ultimately was that as high as you could have finished, do you think?" George: "Yeah, I think so. I think this weekend we know where we've fallen out, and I think the last three races we're kind of in the battle with Fernando-Piastri, as well-and P6 is where we are right now. So it was an interesting weekend, managing to have two different set-ups in the car between Friday and Sunday, so some info to go through, but ultimately we just need to dig into the data and just keep on adding performance to the car." Interviewer: "Yeah. You obviously had the great start to go past the Ferraris. Was it always in the back of your mind that it wasn't a sustainable position to hold?" George: "Well, you're always hoping… You're trying your best, you're driving as fast as possible, but ultimately you end up falling into car pace order. That's the case for everybody at the moment, so… That's Formula 1, and, as I said, we just need to keep on working hard to try and close that gap, get more in the fight with Ferrari and Lando and try and close on the Red Bulls."

Interviewer: "Well, George, P6 in that. You went forward. Were you sort of pleasantly surprised by the pace in the car?" George: "I mean, starting P8 and moving forward a couple of positions, that's sort of where we were hoping and expecting to finish, considering the performance we've been showing, so I think the result is probably a fair one. But we know we have work to do, and it was good to have the sprint format this weekend. We had two very different set-ups on the car Friday and Saturdy morning versus Saturday afternoon and today, so lots to pick through and build from." Interviewer: "With the two parc fermes we've had that weekend, has it given you a chance to really understand the car a little bit more, heading into Miami?" George: "Yeah, I think so. I think it's been quite good for everybody to have that opportunity to try something between the two sessions. Ultimately I think… I dunno where… I can't remember where I finished in the sprint now, but in a similar position." Interviewer: "P8." George. "P8. Okay. So I think in both races P6 is probably where we deserved to finish, so it'd be one way with the car, another way with the car. We just need to just keep on building some performance to it." Interviewer: "Thanks." George: "Thank you."

Lewis: "Ni hao, or lei hou ma. I hope that you're all well. So happy to be back here in Shanghai. The weather was so bad for the first two days, but finally the sky is blue today, and it's beautiful to be out in the trees and see the cherry blossoms and just see the place come alive. Super excited to see… I've already seen some fans at the airport, but really excited to see you all throughout the weekend and just get to interact with you again. I've missed the energy here in China, and I just really wanted to send you guys lots of love and positivity. Thank you so much, particularly to TeamLH China. You guys have been such a rock for me and so supportive for so many years, so I hope this weekend together we can finally [laughs] get a better result. That's something we're working towards, and yeah, I look forward to seeing you."
