Russell expected to take part in qualifying after Sprint crash, willing to help Antonelli

After his Singapore Sprint crash, George Russell said he did not expect to miss qualifying.

With a grid penalty awaiting him, Russell said he and Mercedes needed to reconsider their approach because he saw little to gain from pole position. He was willing to help team-mate Kimi Antonelli if needed, although he did not think doing so would give Antonelli much of an advantage at this circuit.
