George Russell va avea o mașină mai slabă în Singapore

Mercedes is preparing a weaker car for George Russell compared to the upgraded version for Kimi Antonelli, as revealed by recent paddock photos. Team principal Toto Wolff confirmed a comparative test with different specifications to address aerodynamic issues. Antonelli will benefit from newer components to maximize performance and maintain his lead in the championship at Marina Bay. In contrast, Russell will revert to an older aerodynamic package due to a grid penalty for a new power unit. Russell acknowledged that this decision was clear and necessary after a recent failure, emphasizing the need to return to a configuration that previously secured a pole position.
