Mercedes is introducing a major upgrade at Imola this weekend, but George Russell feels it 'won't change the world' for the team. F1
soon decided sticking to its unique floor and sidepod concept was mistake.
But Russell stressed that his new-look Mercedes won't immediately allow the Silver Arrows to make a giant leap. Instead, it is supposed to make the W14 a much more stable platform to develop and extract performance from down the line. "Hopefully that's positive. It's not going to change the world for us in the short term but hopefully it's a step in the right direction."We need to see how the upgrades perform when we get there. Fingers crossed they're brilliant, but we'll only know that on Friday morning."Russell reckons the W14's handling difficulties are behind Mercedes' tendency of starting every grand prix weekend on the back foot.
"I think it's probably because the car is quite challenging to drive at the moment," Russell said."We've got a lot to improve. As I said, we know where we are at the moment."
