Russell: We don't know how the tires will perform in the rain.

      The forecast for the Belgian Grand Prix promises changeable weather throughout the weekend, with a high likelihood of rain, including on race day. In the Nu Silver Arrows podcast, George Russell discussed how challenging it will be for drivers in such conditions...

      George Russell: "Since you don't know what you'll be dealing with, it's impossible to prepare for it in advance. You don't know how the tires will behave. There have been talks that the wet tires are not as good as in previous years. Apparently, you'll have to be more cautious on the out-lap and in the early laps. It's unlikely you'll be able to take Eau Rouge at full speed right from the first lap, especially in the rain. You can prepare as much as you want, but as soon as you hit the track, you need to be as flexible as possible and able to adapt."
