Mercedes plans to bring updates to Formula 1’s Miami Grand Prix to help lift its form, as George Russell suggests it needs a back to basics approach.
The German manufacturer endured another challenging weekend in China where the promise of a second place in the sprint with Lewis Hamilton was not followed through to the main grand prix. Russell came home in sixth, with Hamilton down in ninth, as the squad was once again left chasing answers about why it cannot unlock the potential it feels there is in its W15 car.
'So, the work needs to be back at the factory and ultimately in F1, the more downforce you have, the faster you'll go. The set-up is the cherry on the cake.' From Russell's perspective, Mercedes needs to move away from analysis of finding a perfect set-up and go back to the more standard approach of focusing on aggressive development and a run of upgrades. 'I think there is no silver bullet,' he explained.
