George Russell's call for sit-down talks with Mercedes have been met with a response from the team's trackside engineering director Andrew Shovlin.
Russell said after the Japanese Grand Prix that he wanted a "review" with his team after what he described as the "worst decision ever" during the race at Suzuka. He finished eighth, but had the team gone a different way with their strategy he felt he would have been able to improve on that.
He lost several seconds in the pit lane when he had to wait for his team-mate Lewis Hamilton to complete his own change of tyres. That delay meant he came back out onto the track further back than would otherwise have been the case.
