Russell is a good driver, it'll be interesting to see how he goes tomorrow.
Leclerc was probably qualifying king today, but I doubt he has the car to finish on the podium.
I think Bottas should be favourite, he got pole while looking like he was driving at half-rat pace, he was virtually 100% between the lines!
I wouldn't write off Verstappen on the short track, tyre life on this track could be king.
But the key to short track racing is making no mistakes, when so many drivers are separated by hundredths losing a tenth somewhere has much more impact than usual. Although it's not a good passing venue. It's a pity we do not see more short tracks.
