Russell, on the other hand, has found it more difficult, although his pace on race day typically has been a close match to Hami♈lton. 

Speaking after the race in Austria, Russell said he was confident that Mercedes will “get༒ to the bottom” of their struggles.

“I’m 𒀰sure we will get to the bottom of it, but we still have the same car from two races ago in Barcelona when we were flying so the only thing th🌠at 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 movꦚing around a lot, a little bit worse than all of the other circuits but the pace was substantially worse than we were expecting. We need to get to the bottom of it.”

Mercedes are expected to bring more upgrades to the next race at Si🔴lverstone﷽.

“(Silverstone upgrades) are another step in the ri🍎ght direction it’s just another step,” he added. “It’s clearꦛly 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 is this circ♐uit.”
