George Russell admits chances of a Mercedes win at Bahrain ‘a bit of a stretch’George Russell has admitted Mercedes may not be in the running for victory in Bahrain next weekend, with Red Bull looking strong from the get-go in testing.
Mercedes had been optimistic after the first day of running and had been running well through most of Day 2 before Russell’s issue, which the team later confirmed was a hydraulic problem that ended the Briton’s evening after 26 laps. “Every point of my career, I’ve always gone in believing that you need to take a rational view once you get to a track and you learn,” Russell told media including PlanetF1.com in Bahrain.
“But there’s no reason why eventually we can’t get there at some point this year, and we’ve always seen the strength of Mercedes and their development rate. So yeah, definitely the belief is there.”
