Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton says he intends to "have some fun" in Sunday's Chinese Grand Prix after qualifying down in 18th place.
Hamilton said he had changed the car significantly after the sprint in an attempt to learn more about it, as Mercedes struggle to understand why their new model is not performing as expected. "George decided to go one way, much different to what he had and I went this other direction to just see if we could find something. It didn't feel terrible, just I couldn't stop the car in Turn 14.Russell said: "If we maximised everything today maybe we could have been P4.
"Red Bull are a mile ahead and Ferrari are another big chunk ahead of us but with everyone else we are there or thereabouts and it should be a good race."
