Russell 'really grateful' to qualify on front row after power issue in China

Hi George, that must have been pretty nerve-wracking when you stopped out on track, what exactly was going on in the cockpit and I imagine you're pretty happy to come away with P2 there. Yeah really happy and really grateful to be standing here right now because I went out on track, I had no power, I was stuck in first gear, I almost span off because the rear tyres locked up, the car stopped and then restarted and I was stuck in, I couldn't change gear again. So I don't know what was happening, front wing broke in Q2 so I did no lap in Q2 so it was just absolutely carnage and I was just really happy just first to get an opportunity to do a lap and when I saw the issues with the battery and my tyres I was super happy to come across second. Could have been a lot worse in terms of starting position for tomorrow, expecting a big fight with Kimi, the Ferraris? Yeah for sure, I mean Kimi's been very quick so it was only a matter of time that we'd be having a proper fight and hopefully we can have a nice battle tomorrow. Ferrari are definitely in the mix so I hope not but I expect something similar to the first two races.
