George Russell reveals Mercedes are resorting to "drastic" test items in a bid to fix their main weakness.
The Briton, who admitted a mistake in Q3 cost him a potential top-five starting grid slot in Japan, revealed Mercedes are trying some “drastic” test items in a bid to cure their mean weakness."When you get to qualifying, you take the fuel out, the corners are becoming faster and faster and faster. So, the pace naturally sort of goes away from us a bit in those corners.
"But we're a long way off in the high speed compared to what we're seeing back at base. So, we need to get on top of that. "Whereas in the race, you're probably going around the corners 30km/h slower in a high speed, which brings it back into more of a medium-speed corner rather than a high-speed corner.Russell believes that the start of the 2024 calendar has only exacerbated Mercedes’ problems.
