George Russell of Mercedes F1 said he set the sixth fastest time in the 2022 F1 Round 2 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix qualifying, but the team does not know why only their car entered the window.
Qualifying for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix started with the turmoil of Lewis Hamilton’s defeat in Q1. However, teammate George Russell advanced the piece to Q3 and won the 6th grid. But Russell says the team hasn’t figured out the difference between the two.
“We were one team and it wasn’t a good day for the team,” said George Russell.
“We don’t know the car at this point, it’s inconsistent, and we’re struggling to get it into a very small wing. Our side of the garage was able to get it just inside that window, but I’m not sure why or how. Unfortunately, it didn’t work on the Lewis side. When it’s extremely unstable on a circuit like this, I’m not confident to push it to the limit. “
“As a team, we are not here to fight P5 / P6. We are aiming for a higher position and today we are 0.9 seconds behind the Czech Republic (Perez) so we have to do it. I have work to do”
“We know what our problem is and everyone is working day and night trying to solve it. We know we still have quite a lot of lap time and we take advantage of it. It’s just not done. We have to be patient. “
“We are very optimistic and thankful that we are still the third fastest team with such serious problems. If we have many problems and still the third fastest You should be in a really good place when you solve them. “
