'It just didn't really click today'
George Russell, who qualifies in P6 for tomorrow's Dutch Grand Prix, has been chatting to Sky Sports.
He's asked what he thought of his qualifying performance. "Not great to be honest," says the Mercedes man.
"The car has been feeling great all weekend and I had a really strong feeling after FP3.
"But it just didn't really click for me and I don't really know why. Ultimately it was a a lack of performance in Q2 that cost me in Q3 because we had to take those second set of tyres, so I only had the one set available in Q3 and obviously with the yellow flag, I couldn't get my lap in. A little bit frustrating."
Russell does see the positive side after qualifying: "I see no reason why we can't fight for a podium," he adds.

Charles Leclerc's last victory at the Austrian Grand Prix in July saw him start beside polesitter Max Verstappen but eventually take the race win after a tense final 10 laps.
At that stage in the season. Leclerc cut Verstappen's championship lead to 38 points, to revive his hopes of lifting a maiden title.
With the Red Bull driver 93 points better off in September, it's going to take something monumental for the Ferrari man to get back into the fight now.
Post update
Charles Leclerc, after he's finished lacing up his boot, tells Sky Sports he made a mistake into Turn 10. "I went very wide," says the Ferrari driver.
And how does he think he can beat home favourite Max Verstappen? "Well, easy way will be a great start," he says. "P1 into Turn 1."
Fourth will have to do for Hamilton

Lewis Hamilton will line up alongside the Ferrari of Carlos Sainz on the second row but the Mercedes man will be mulling over what might have been. His lap looked good enough to at least muscle his way closer to Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen before Sergio Perez ended proceedings with his late mishap.
*I wrote this just before Toto Wolff spoke to Sky Sports.*
Post update
Mercedes boss Toto Wolff says Lewis Hamilton "was a tenth up" on both Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc before the yellow flag came out for Sergio Perez.
Game on again for the Silver Arrows?

Adam: How much luck does one man need? Will he ever win a championship without it? I'm not so sure.
Kayleigh: Really hope Charles can do something off the line tomorrow to give us a good-ish race.
'I think in the end we did a decent job'
Ferrari's Carlos Sainz, who starts in third place: "Yeah it was a clean lap with no mistakes, just missing that last half a tenth to beat Charles and Max who were on the limit out there. I think in the end we did a decent job.
"It is very tough out there especially with the heavier cars, the track is especially demanding on the tyres, we have a lot of overheating and degradation.
"I think tomorrow is going to be an interesting day, there is going to be a lot going even if it's a difficult track to overtake, there will still many options with strategies."
'Car was getting better and better"
Ferrari's Charles Leclerc, who will start second on the grid: "It was very very close. Max did a great lap in the end.
"Our car was getting better and better through qualifying. In the beginning I was pretty scared because Max was much, much quicker than those on used tyres. But in Q3, the car came a bit more together and I managed to do that lap which was close enough for P2. Tomorrow is the race and we will give it our all.
"We are much stronger here compared to last weekend, so that's good to see and for tomorrow, I think our race pace looks strong and hopefully it will be close with the Red Bull. We just need to do a great start."
'Today the car was enjoyable to drive'
Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, who finished P1 in his home race fora second year in a row: "Unbelievable. Especially after yesterday we had a difficultday but we worked really well overnight, the whole team turned it around andtoday we had a quick race car again but it was very close but the pole lap wasinsane.
"We changed a lot, yesterday was a bit rushed in FP2 to get the car together, but today the car was enjoyable to drive."
