George Russell feels Red Bull had the edge over Mercedes in AbuDhabiGP practice and the Yas Marina Circuit suits the RB18 better. F1
Russell pointed to the strengths of Red Bull’s RB18 car in a straight line and out of the low-speed corners as being ideally suited to the characteristics of the track in Abu Dhabi.“We know they’ve got a really slippery car down the straight, very efficient, and on a circuit like this with two long straights and lots of slow speed corners, this kind of suits them down to a tee.
He added: “The Red Bulls look a bit quicker here, which was expected,” said the seven-time world champion. “We didn’t expect this to be our strongest race. But we’ll work hard overnight. We’re generally right there, so hopefully we can put up a good fight.”
