Mercedes has organized a meeting at its Brackley factory on Monday with both drivers to analyze the issues with its Formula 1 car. The team began the season as a strong rival to McLaren, with George Russell achieving four podiums in the first six races. However, recent performances have been disappointing, notably at the Belgian Grand Prix where Russell finished fifth behind Ferrari and Red Bull. The team is facing challenges with rear instability on corner entry and is now focused on identifying where they went wrong with the car’s development. There are suspicions that changes made after the FIA’s restrictions on flexible front wings may have impacted their performance negatively. Mercedes aims to go back to a successful baseline setup and work closely with the drivers to improve the car’s stability and competitiveness.
