Mercedes admit experiments conducted on their F1 cars resulted in George Russell and Lewis Hamilton falling “backwards” during second practice at the HungarianGP

“We came in sort of wanting to do some experiments with the car and I think the ones that we did in FP2 with both [drivers] have taken us backwards,” Shovlin told Sky.“The first session we looked a bit stronger, the car was more together. There’s a couple of things that I’m pretty certain we are going to be undoing overnight, because it didn’t look great.”

“But I think some of the set-up changes we made, we’ve gone the wrong way. We’re here to learn and you don’t always get them making the car going quicker, but I think there’s two of those that we’ll be going back on overnight.”Mercedes are hoping the forecast for a potentially wet qualifying on Saturday proves to be right after a tricky first day of running in Hungary.

“So [it’s] not the end of the world but it would be nice to have a session where you can work with the car a bit, and this wasn’t that.
