Russell: Mercedes will gain ‘big margin' with new restrictions

George Russell believes Mercedes will receive an advantage following the introduction of the new engine technical directive at this weekend's Formula 1 Italian Grand Prix, rather than be hurt by the updated rules. Power units manufacturers are not permitted to run a ‘party mode’ throughout the weekend, which is primarily used in qualifying on a Saturday.

Russell reckons Mercedes' customer teams will lose out more in qualifying but is optimistic that in race trim the new directive will help its prospect. Related Posts...
