Both drivers struggled throughout the session, and he was proved correct.
Russell failed to make it into the final part of the race and ended up 12th. I didn't have confidence in the car today.

Even so, he was unable to get close to the dominant forces of Red Bull and Ferrari, and was beaten by his former team-mate Valtteri Bottas.
Pierre Gasly and Yuki Tsunoda were seventh and ninth, split by Lando Norris and Lance Stroll, with Lance Stroll impressing by making it into the top 10.
