“Big secrets!” - George Russell jokes about mystery Mercedes tests in Abu Dhabi
Russell enjoyed a strong Frid🗹ay at the Yas Marina Circuit, topping the first practice session.
He was then sixth-fastest in FP2, just 0.3s off 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc’s top time.
Speaking after FP2, Ruꦫssell was asked whether Mercedes are trialli𒈔ng some development parts ahead of 2024, when they plan to introduce a new concept.
After making a joke that thꦜey were “🃏big secrets”, Russell clarified nothing new was being tested.
“Big secrets, big secrets,” he joked in Abu 🎉Dhabi.” We’re just trying a few b🅺its and bobs on the car that we’ve tried over a number of races.
“Just was having a slightl⛦y different effect in Abu Dhabi that we had in previous races. Just feeding that back tꦿo the team but all good.”
Unlike teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton, Russell was feeling “pretty positive” ab𓄧o𒅌ut Mercedes’ pace.
“It was a pretty positiveꦦ Friday I must say,” he added. “Obviously in FP1, a lot of young 🦋drivers in the car so difficult to gauge where the pace of the car was at. FP2, very interrupted. I felt good out there. The long run pace seems good which is going to be most important.
“I think it’s going to be close out there w💞ith the likes of Lando and maybe Charles. We always know Red Bull have got a little bit more in their pocket. I am exci꧒ted going into tomorrow.”
