Russell, on the other hand, has found it more difficult, although his p𝄹ace on race day typically has been a close match to Hamilton. 

Speaking after the race in Austria, Russell said he was confident that Mercedes will “get to the bottom” of 🥀their strugg🎃les.

“I’m sure we will get to t﷽he bottom o🐭f it, but we still have the same car from two races ago in Barcelona when we were flying so the only thing that is different is the tyres, something we need to understand,” Russell said.

“A few surprises out there, Lando and McLaren did a really🧸 great job so well done to them. We need🍸 to understand what went wrong on our side.

“It definitely doesn’t feel how we want it to, the car is moving around a lot, a little bit worse than all of the other circuits but the pace was substantially worse than we were expecting. W🍷e need to get to the bottom of it.”

Mercedes are expected to bring♑ more u🥀pgrades to the next race at Silverstone.

“(Silverstone upgrades) are another step in the right direction it’s j𒆙ust another step,” he added. “It’s cle🐻arly circuit dependent because we were nowhere here and with the same car we were good in Canada and fast in Barcelona. 

“That bodes well for Silverstone because Silverstone is more in line with Barcelona than it i𒁃s this circuit.”
