George Russell believes that despite expecting an improvement in performance from Mercedes at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, it still won’t ‘transform’ his team’s finishing position. Mercedes have played out an underwhelming 2022 campaign so far, leaving them third in the standings without a win to their name.
The Silver Arrows have struggled to adapt to new rules and regulations implemented by the FIA on vehicle designs. In their last outing Russell managed a fifth place finish in Monaco, whilst his teammate Lewis Hamilton finished in eighth, with the Mercedes W13 cars suffering from a recurring porpoising issue.
Despite the troubles, Russell believes the Baku track at this week’s race will be more suited to the Silver Arrows vehicle, but isn’t confident that it can ‘transform' their finishing spot.
