Japanese Grand Prix: George Russell says Mercedes practice pace 'not representative' of actual speed
George Russell admits Mercedes’ second practice pace is “not representative” of what they expect at this weekend’s Japanese Grand Prix as he led a one-two from team-mate Lewis Hamilton. Friday’s running in Suzuka was wet with Russell heading the way in FP2, but qualifying is set to be dry. Ad Mercedes have taken just one pole position this year, which happened at the Hungarian Grand Prix thanks to a sensational lap from Russell.
