George Russell says Mercedes is “not too optimistic” for the Sao Paulo Grand Prix on Sunday, but “conditions are different and that can totally change everything”.
Mercedes had a difficult time at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix Sprint Race, with George Russell finishing in P4 and Lewis Hamilton in P7.
However, George still thinks things can change on Sunday.
“It was a tough pill to swallow,” the Briton said.
“It’s really quite confusing. Unfortunately it’s always down to these tyres and getting them in the sweet spot.

“Especially these last two weekends, nobody’s really understood when it’s working for them.
“And they’ve found a lot performance, like Ferrari in qualifying last week, then we found our pace in the race and suddenly it wasn’t there for us today when we expected quite a lot.
“So I don’t know going into tomorrow. Right now, obviously we’re not too optimistic.
“But conditions are different and that can totally change everything,” Russell concluded.
