Two critical factors helped George Russell secure a brilliant win in F1’s Belgian GP
Lower-than-expected tyre degradation, and a no-lose strategy scenario, triggered the Mercedes call to commit George Russell to his winning one-stop in Formula 1’s Belgian Grand Prix. The Mercedes driver had been stuck in the pack in the early stages of the race, as the frontrunners circulated together in DRS trains. But as his opposition covered each other from undercuts and he shuffled to the front, Russell and Mercedes made the decision to change from their anticipated two-stopper.
” Asked who pulled the trigger on the one-stop, Russell added: “I mean, I was focusing a lot during the race. So, I'll have to listen to the radio comms back, but it was a team effort: Joey Leo, all the strategy guys, did an amazing job. And always it is that team effort. So, we rolled the dice. “But it was only possible because the car was feeling really great, and the pace was there. So, yeah, 1-2, such a good result.
