Mercedes' extra 'magic' in Barcelona was not down to their new sidepod philosophy, according to George Russell. F1 SpanishGP MercedesAMG
George Russell reveals where Mercedes’ ‘magic’ is from, and it’s not the sidepodsGeorge Russell has said the newfound “magic” in the Mercedes W14 is not from their new sidepod configuration, but instead from what is underneath the car.
But the first time to see the new upgrades around a more ‘conventional’ circuit came in Barcelona this weekend, and Mercedes were immediately rewarded with a double podium finish, with Lewis Hamilton finishing second and Russell taking P3 behind Max Verstappen in the Spanish Grand Prix. “You know, it may be a factor, but the magic isn’t in the sidepods. And you know, we brought that design to the car to kind of rule it out, the sidepods, but the magic was done underneath of the car on the floor – and they’re the same for every single team.
Having qualified on the sixth row for the race, Russell quickly made his way through the field in the first stint and was able to consolidate his place in the top five, before securing a place on the podium with a controlled drive to ease clear of Carlos Sainz and hold off the chasing Sergio Perez.
