Formula 1: Russell Calls For A Reset After Mercedes Struggle At Spa
Belgian Grand Prix: George Russell has called on Mercedes to “revert back” to their earlier-season setup after the team endured another underwhelming performance at the Belgian Grand Prix. Despite finishing fifth at Spa-Francorchamps, Russell admitted the result flattered the true pace of the car, as he finished more than 35 seconds behind race winner Oscar Piastri.
The Briton gained just one position during a relatively uneventful race, benefiting early from Alex Albon’s struggles in the wet conditions. But beyond that, Mercedes were largely unable to challenge the front-runners.
“We need to understand why we've lost so much pace in recent races,” Russell was quoted as saying by Formula 1.com. “Of course, it's frustrating for all of us as a team. P5 was probably flattering the real pace of the car, so I'm at least happy we got the maximum possible.”
