拉塞尔解释巴西大奖赛排位赛愤怒：“杆位本可到手”
拉塞尔解释了自己在无线电中对梅赛德斯沟通失误的愤怒，他称这次失误让诺里斯抢走了F1巴西大奖赛的杆位。
与巴西大奖赛受天气影响的排位赛主题一致，拉塞尔在赛后新闻发布会上面对F1媒体时脸色阴沉。
冠军已经无望，因更换引擎被罚退后五位发车意味着拉塞尔周日原本就不可能从前排起步。但在一个充满挑战的赛季结束时，即便带有罚退，拿下又一个杆位在心理层面依然重要，哪怕只是为了给更强的2027赛季打下基础。
英特拉格斯混乱的雨地排位赛给了拉塞尔这个机会。当第三节排位赛条件再次开始恶化时，拉塞尔率先用半雨胎做出第一轮成绩，比兰多·诺里斯最初的标杆成绩快了四成。
刚跑出足以暂列杆位的圈速后，他的比赛工程师马库斯·达德利就催促他在条件恶化前再跑一圈：“能推就推，我觉得这场雨来之前我们还能再跑一圈。”
随后拉塞尔在第二赛段追上了亚历克斯·阿尔本驾驶的威廉姆斯车尾，急切地想让这位朋友让开：“让开，阿尔本诺！”
但当达德利暗示拉塞尔还有机会再开始一个飞驰圈时，混乱出现了，他必须在接近12号弯——棘手的茹卡奥弯，众多赛车曾在此滑上湿草——时迅速做出决定。

“你得告诉我，伙计，我该怎么做。我是收油还是继续冲？”拉塞尔在无线电里说。
回复立刻传来：“我们现在可以收油了，现在收油，”拉塞尔并不信服，要求确认。
就在那一刻，诺里斯冲过终点线完成第二个计时圈，比拉塞尔的标杆成绩快了两成，抢走了杆位。而随着条件迅速恶化，拉塞尔意识到放弃自己这一圈的决定是错的，一个挽回颜面的杆位机会已经没了。
在经历了今年已经发生的一切之后，这件事他很难接受。
“兄弟，你他妈让我收油。搞什么鬼！”拉塞尔发泄道。“乔治，你是第二名，”车队领队托托·沃尔夫的介入并不令人满意，拉塞尔回答说：“我不想当第二名，我想当第一名。那一圈是能拿第一的圈。真他妈见鬼。”
从封闭车检区到强制的前三名新闻发布会之间的短暂间隔，几乎没有缓解他的失望。
“我觉得只是有点沟通不畅。我需要和车队谈谈，因为我们以为在雨来之前还能再跑一圈，”拉塞尔解释道。“我当时那一圈非常强，却被要求收油，因为我追上了阿尔本，然后显然雨就来了。
“这非常令人失望。我们需要弄清楚这是怎么发生的，以及为什么我们会做出错误的判断。但整节练习中我都感觉非常强劲。我确实觉得杆位本就在掌握之中。”
“一旦做出决定，我想我们就知道那是错误的选择，因为他们已经能切实感觉到雨下得更大了。”
不过，拉塞尔不愿让自己的比赛工程师成为众矢之的，因为在混合条件下做出这种瞬间决定，是维修区内错综复杂的团队协作的产物。
“我们不能指责任何人。我们需要弄清楚为什么做出了那个决定，以及我们的系统是否告诉了我们所需的信息，因为你依赖的是雷达，”他说。
这不是我工程师的错。他最终是那个传递信息的人，但他有12个人在跟他说话，把信息给他转达。所以我们只需要理解为什么我们做出了那个决定。
之后在接受天空体育采访时，沃尔夫并不认为拉塞尔能守住杆位，因为12号弯的条件比诺里斯片刻之前经过时明显恶化。
“你知道，如果我们有水晶球能知道是否该收油，那会有帮助，”他说。“这很难，是五五开的判断。
“他当时正赶上阿尔本，在那个阶段比诺里斯快18毫秒，所以我认为那不足以拿到杆位。但显然他在各节练习与排位中都开得很完美，他配得上杆位。”
拉塞尔依然斗志昂扬，他希望周日的比赛能在类似条件下进行，因为他将从第七位而不是第二位发车。队友基米·安东内利在排位赛中位列第三，将与诺里斯并排发车，他未能匹配拉塞尔的速度。
其他前排竞争者马克斯·维斯塔潘和刘易斯·汉密尔顿将从队尾发车，不太可能成为影响因素，而夏尔·勒克莱尔和奥斯卡·皮亚斯特里将从车阵中游起步。
“在雨中我感觉非常自信。我认为我和兰多的速度是场上最好的，”拉塞尔宣称。“我希望明天是湿地。我觉得如果下雨，我有更大的机会。”

George Russell's Brazilian GP qualifying fury explained: "Pole was there for the taking"
George Russell has explained his radio fury over a miscommunication with Mercedes, which he claimed had cost him pole at Formula 1's Brazilian Grand Prix to Lando Norris
In keeping with the theme of the Brazilian Grand Prix's weather-hit qualifying, George Russell had a thunderous look on his face when he faced the Formula 1 media in the post-session press conference.
The title has gone and a five-place grid penalty for an engine swap meant Russell was never going to start on the front row on Sunday. But at the end of a challenging year, it was still mentally important to claim another pole - with or without grid penalty - if only to lay the foundations for a stronger 2027.
Interlagos' frantic wet-weather qualifying gave Russell that opportunity. As conditions started to worsen again in Q3, Russell led the first salvo of runs on intermediates, and took four tenths out of Lando Norris' initial benchmark.
Right after setting a lap which was good enough for provisional pole, his race engineer Marcus Dudley urged him to carry on for another lap before conditions worsened: "Push if you can, I think we'll get one more lap before this rain."
Russell then caught the back of Alex Albon's Williams in the second sector, willing his friend out of the way: "Move, Albono!"
But when Dudley suggested Russell would have the opportunity to start one more flyer, confusion set in and a quick call had to be made as he approached Turn 12, the tricky Juncao corner which saw numerous cars slide onto the wet grass.

"You need to tell me, mate, what I'm doing. Am I backing or going?" Russell said over the radio.
The reply came instantly: "We can back up now, back up now," with an unconvinced Russell asking for confirmation.
It was at that very moment that Norris crossed the line for a second timed lap, and took two tenths out of Russell's benchmark to snatch pole away. And with conditions worsening quickly, Russell realised the call to abandon his lap had been wrong, and a chance for a redeeming pole was gone.
After all he had been through already this year, it was not something he took well.
"Mate, you fucking told me to back off. What the hell!" Russell vented. "George, you're P2," was an unsatisfactory intervention from team principal Toto Wolff, with Russell replying: "I don't want to be P2, I want to be P1. That was a P1 lap. Fucking hell."
The short interval between parc ferme and the compulsory top-three press conference did little to dampen his disappointment.
"I think it was just a bit of miscommunication. I needed to speak with the team because we believed we'd get another lap before the rain came in," Russell explained. "I was on a really strong lap and I was asked to back off because I caught up with Albon and then obviously the rain came.
"It was very disappointing. We need to understand how it happened and why we got that wrong. But I felt very strong the whole session. I definitely felt the pole was there for the taking.
"As soon as it was made, I think we knew it was the wrong one because already they could actually feel the rain pouring harder."
Russell was keen to keep his race engineer out of the firing line, though, as such a split-second decision in mixed conditions is the product of an intricate web of teamwork in the garage.
"We can't point the finger at somebody. We need to understand why we made that decision and were our systems telling us what we needed to know because you're relying on the radar," he said.
"It's not my engineer's fault. He's ultimately the one who passes the message on, but he's got 12 people talking to him, giving him that information to relay. So we just need to understand why we made that decision."
Speaking to Sky Sports afterwards, Wolff wasn't convinced Russell could have hung on to pole given conditions were getting markedly worse in Turn 12 than they had been for Norris just moments prior.
"You know, if we were to have a crystal ball to know whether you should back off or not, then that would be helpful," he said. "A difficult one, it's a 50-50 call.
"He was running into Albon, was 18 milliseconds up on Norris at that stage, so I don't think it would have been enough for pole. But obviously he's driven perfectly all sessions and he merited to be on pole."
Russell remained combative and wants Sunday to be in similar conditions as he starts from seventh instead of second. Team-mate Kimi Antonelli will line up alongside Norris instead after qualifying third, having been unable to match Russell's pace.
Other frontrunners Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton are starting from the rear of the field and are unlikely to be a factor, while Charles Leclerc and Oscar Piastri are starting in the middle of the pack.
"I felt really confident in the rain. I think my pace along with Lando's was by far the best out there," Russell declared. "I hope it is wet tomorrow. I feel I've got a greater chance if it's wet."
