Mercedes will take the performance of its Monaco upgrade with a 'pinch of salt' and wait until Barcelona before coming to any conclusions, according to George Russell. F1
has made wholesale changes to both its aerodynamic and mechanical packages that were supposed to run at last weekend’s cancelled Imola event.
"So we just need to get through the weekend and take a review once we get to Barcelona and go from there.”Russell conceded that it can be advantageous to start the Monaco weekend with a familiar car, but he insisted that the potential performance gains outweighed any such concerns. “And to be honest, I'm glad that we are sort of proceeding with the update this weekend because you always want to put as much performance on the car as possible.
"Because Monaco is very challenging. I think everybody struggled last year with these new cars, the ride is exceptionally poor, compared to the 13-inch [tyre] era of cars.
