(Reuters) - George Russell made his 'Mr Saturday' tag count after his stunning display in a wet qualifying session earned him his first Formula One podium in Sunday's washed-out Belgian Grand Prix.

Sunday's race, the shortest in Formula One history, was abandoned after drivers completed the minimum laps behind a safety car needed to declare a result, following a lengthy rain-enforced stoppage.
