The 2022 season for Mercedes started in a disastrous fashion as they failed to nail down the car under the new regulations. However, the last few races have seen them have a mid-season revival with major upgrades giving a massive performance boost. Even though their results have improved, driver George Russell had some serious words for the team.

Although, the team has secured podium finishes in each of the last 6 races, including back-to-back double podiums at France and then Hungary, Russell has come out and said, “We’re definitely closing that gap, there’s no doubt, but the four cars ahead of us certainly have the pace advantage,”

He went on to add, “Hopefully after the summer break, we’ll add some extra things to the car, but as does everybody, so it’s not going to be straightforward.” 

Russell concluded with, “I don’t think we’ll probably ever have the car that will be outright quickest.”
