George Russell not expecting Mercedes to challenge Red Bull and Ferrari at Azerbaijan GP in Baku
George Russell expects Mercedes to close the gap on the leading teams at the Azerbaijan GP, but doesn’t think they will be able to challenge for victory. After a difficult start to the F1 season due to issues with porpoising – an aerodynamic problem that results in the car bouncing up and down on the track — Mercedes showed improvements at the Spanish Grand Prix as Russell came third and team-mate Lewis Hamilton finished fifth. Ad/> However, last time out in Monaco both drivers slipped back in the field, Russell coming home in fifth and Hamilton in eighth.
