Mercedes is looking for a better result in Sunday’s Emilia Romagna Grand Prix despite failing to gain ground in Saturday’s Sprint.

Following their problems in Saturday’s Sprint, Mercedes may have to take a “alternative” strategy in the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, according to George Russell.

Russell and driver Lewis Hamilton placed 11th and 13th, respectively, and were unable to make any progress in the race. Russell maintained his spot, but Hamilton dropped one places to 14th.

As a result, Russell is hoping that the squad’s chances will improve in the main Grand Prix on Sunday, and that they will be able to take advantage of “variables” such pit-stop approaches.

“[We’ve] definitely got more opportunity because, [in the Sprint], everybody except two cars or three cars started on the same tyre, so you’ll see some different choices there [in the race],” the Briton told media, including RacingNews365.com.

“We’ll have to probably do something different to our competitors to make a difference, because it was clear today [that] it wasn’t straightforward to overtake on track.”

Russell believes Mercedes “overachieved” in the first few races

Mercedes is only four points under Red Bull in the Constructors’ Championship, with Ferrari leading by a significant margin despite a rocky start to the 2022 season.

Russell, on the other hand, thinks that the Silver Arrows may have accomplished more than their car was able in the early rounds of the race, and that they may now begin to move forward.

“We need to get back up to that P5, P6 position,” he explained.

“I think we’ve probably overachieved in the first few races with our package, and probably so far this weekend. We’re below par, so we need to bounce back.”
