British driver George Russell slams his own Mercedes team’s performance at the Imola Grand Prix, labeling their car as “dead slow” and expressing gratitude for finishing in seventh place. Despite the seemingly decent result, Russell emphasizes that luck played a significant role in their position on the grid.

Russell’s frustrations stem from the team’s ongoing struggles with performance in high temperatures, a recurring issue that has plagued them since last season. The driver points out that the Mercedes car tends to underperform in hot conditions, contrasting sharply with their better showings in colder weather.

In a scathing critique, Russell tells Sky Sports F1, “We were definitely not [with] bad luck, we were just dead slow.” He highlights the team’s consistent trend of sluggishness in hot weather and expresses disappointment in their inability to rectify the underlying problems within the car.

The British driver’s concerns were evident even before the race began, as he detected issues during his reconnaissance lap to the grid. Despite alerting his engineers, the source of the discomfort remained elusive, causing Russell to struggle throughout the 60-plus laps of the Grand Prix.

Russell’s assessment extends to the team’s handling of overheating tires, a challenge that seems to vary from circuit to circuit. While Mercedes has attempted adjustments to combat this issue, their efforts have not yielded consistent results, leaving Russell and his team at a disadvantage against their competitors.

With Mercedes facing an uphill battle to resolve their performance woes, George Russell’s candid comments shed light on the internal struggles within the team, raising questions about their ability to overcome these obstacles in future races.
