George Russell feels Mercedes have 'overcompensated' with this year's car after an underwhelming Qualifying at the Miami Grand Prix.
George Russell feels Mercedes have 'overcompensated' with this year's car in search of a breakthrough in F1's current rules era, with their underwhelming start to the 2024 season continuing at the Miami GP. Mercedes brought upgrades to this weekend's event but both Russell and Lewis Hamilton were knocked out in the second part of Sprint Qualifying, then failed to score points in the Sprint.
'When new upgrades take eight weeks to enter the car, you learn this problem with Race One, Race Two... you can't just bring an upgrade to the next race. 'You have to put it in the wind tunnel, you have to design it, you have to draw it, you have to build it and suddenly you are halfway through the season. 'That's why it's so difficult when you're on the backfoot to suddenly make that progress. Everyone expects it tomorrow.
