Russell reveals key Mercedes advantage to ‘force Ferrari into an error’
Russell narrowly missed out on his first pole position in F1 2023, but he’s confident in his car and the team’s strategy. Mercedes has an extra set of medium tires, giving them a potential advantage in the battle for victory. Russell plans to use these tires to put Ferrari in a difficult position and force them into making mistakes. Sainz, who will start on pole, acknowledges Mercedes’ race pace advantage but believes Ferrari has made progress and can target the win if he focuses on his own race and performs well in the first stint on hards.
