Brundle clear: 'Mercedes has gone they have gone the wrong way'

Mercedes loses performance

Russell managed to set a 1:29.9 in the second free practice session yesterday. A day later the Mercedes was almost a second slower? Where did things go wrong for the men from Brackley?

"They made some changes to the car, they have gone the wrong way," said Sky Sports commentator Brundle in the preview on the British television channel. "They got it so wrong this morning and I think they might have been running on lower fuel yesterday than some others as well."

In any case, according to the former Formula One driver, it is clear that the W13's sweet spot is very small. That is, it is very difficult to tune the car so that it knows how to go around a circuit perfectly."George did a 1:29.9 yesterday so they are not as slow as they looked in that session and we have to expect them to be challenging to get into Q3."
