Wolff pleased with how Russell has settled in at Mercedes!
Toto Wolff says he is happy with the job George Russell did in qualifying for the Sakhir Grand Prix as Mercedes secured yet another front row lock-out, with Valtteri Bottas ahead of Russell.
Ever since Lewis Hamilton's positive COVID-19 test result and the subsequent announcement of Russell's promotion, there has been lots of talk about how the young Brit would fare.
Wolff told Sky Sports after qualifying: "It is a good result for the team. 1 and 2, the front row lock out. This circuit with less than a minute lap time was always going to produce very close gaps, we could see tenths between P1 and P3 and maybe less than a tenth.
"It's interesting because they are very different characters. Lewis has been there for so long time and has experience and George is more chatty.
"He didn't fit in the car. I think he has settled in well considering the circumstances, so I am happy with him," Wolff added.
