George Russell: We'll all have to endure another year.

      George Russell believes that this generation of cars has a number of "innate" features that affect their behavior on the track, and although drivers don't like it, they just have to put up with it.

      Currently, Formula 1 has technical regulations that came into force in 2022, but in 2026, the World Championship teams will switch to next-generation cars, the design of which will take into account the experience of the previous four years as much as possible.

      Mercedes was one of those teams that did not immediately find the right approach to the development of the chassis, the concept of aerodynamics of which is based on the application of the ground effect, but the situation gradually improved. Last year, the Stuttgart factory team scored four victories, and Russell started the new season with two podium finishes in the first two races.

      "The car has definitely improved, there's no doubt about that. I think it's become a little easier to manage," RacingNews365 quotes George. "However, we probably didn't get as far ahead as we hoped, because in the end, lap time is the main indicator.

      But even when I talked to Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, they also did not say that their McLaren cars have incredibly comfortable handling. Of course, they manage to complete laps about half a second faster than everyone else.

      But under the current regulations, piloting these machines will never be so pleasant. We will all have to endure for another year, trying to achieve the best possible results despite all the difficulties. I think that next year the handling of the cars will be closer to the usual."
