Mercedes Struggles with Russell's Power Issues | F1 News

from F1 News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Mercedes is stumped by George Russell’s mysterious energy deployment woes, which plagued him at Silverstone and especially at Spa—where he lost speed on straights despite no obvious power unit issues. Adjusting his driving style didn’t help, and even his final lap showed the same deficit. Compounding the problem, a software glitch at Spa hit both Mercedes cars early, draining their energy reserves and costing Russell crucial time on the Kemmel Straight against Ferrari. With only ten races under the new regulations, the team admits they’re still learning—and racing against the clock to fix both issues before the next race.
