George Russell shares update on Mercedes W15 upgrades with ‘quick’ action needed

George Russell believes upcoming Mercedes updates won’t “transform” his team’s fortunes in the short term.

With McLaren coming on in leaps and bounds through a series of upgrades, starting at last year’s Austrian Grand Prix, Russell said the Woking-based team has nailed its development path.“So it shows what’s possible when you get things right.Mercedes introduced several new parts at the Miami Grand Prix, including a revised floor along with tweaks to the front wing and suspension, but more comprehensive upgrades are expected through the summer.

“I think we have to accept that we are the fourth-fastest team at the moment. The lap times and the championship don’t lie – this is where we are and I think we’re fighting for the P5-P8 region week in, week out now.”Asked for the specifics of the timeline as to when the upgrades for the W15 will be introduced, team boss Toto Wolff said they are still a few races away and opted against putting a firm date on their introduction.

“And once that part comes, or once it’s coming, they need to be sorted. So this is a matter of many weeks.”
