Russell Struggles with Set-Up Change Ahead of Japanese Grand Prix
George Russell is facing an uphill battle at the Japanese Grand Prix after an unsuccessful set-up change hindered his qualifying performance. Despite starting from second on the grid, Russell expressed frustration with the changes made to his car, which he felt significantly impacted his driving. The Mercedes driver will have to adapt to the new set-up for the race, but team principal Toto Wolff has warned that it may continue to cause problems. Russell's teammate, Kimi Antonelli, will start from pole position and is confident that he can secure a win, but acknowledges that Russell will be his toughest competitor.
