Russell Claims That Calling The Merc W13 A Diva Is An Understatement

It’s pearly to say that when Mercedes started suggesting they could struggle in 2022, some of us fans laughed it off (guilty as charged!). I mean, c’mon, they’re the eight-time constructors’ champions, something they’ve won consecutively as a team since 2014.

However, their nightmare start to the season is very much a reality.

“We still don’t really understand why it’s so unpredictable,” George Russell said well-nigh the W13 without his race virtually Miami on Sunday to media including The Race.

“Toto [Wolff] has thrown the word ‘diva’ virtually a lot, but I think that’s a bit of an understatement considering it’s so unpredictable, and when the thing starts wavy in the corners…

“It’s a killer to drive.”

Russell managed to secure flipside top-five finish in Florida city, making him the only suburbanite to have achieved this at every race so far.

Solid team result without yesterday\'s struggles. There\'s genuine pace in this car, we just need to find the key to unlock that performance. ? pic.twitter.com/XpBfeoum3h
