JUST IN <\/strong> George Russell used brutal method to reject Toto Wolff after Mercedes meeting[LATEST] <\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cI think that\u2019s something that Red Bull have done a really great job of. Allowing their drivers lap one of the weekend to go out push to the limit and in little fear of crashing the car or spinning out.<\/p>\n \u201cSo that\u2019s something where we\u2019re targeting, just improving that balance. But there\u2019s always marginal gains in many areas. If you can find half a tenth here, half a tenth there, suddenly, you can add that up to a large chunk of lap time. That\u2019s just what we\u2019re working for at the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.

But you know, we saw Red Bull catch Mercedes in the Mercedes era in 2021 and that was sort of unforeseen as well as 2020 from Mercedes was a really dominant year. Then in 2021, Red Bull starts with the quickest car.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ll be pushing for that but we\u2019re not going to put any huge expectations on next year. We will sort of take it race by race, making sure we get all of the right information to make the best decisions possible between now and the Bahrain test next year.\u201d<\/p>\n Watch all the live F1 action on NOW TV for just \u00a312 for a day.<\/p>\n You can enjoy\u00a0Premier League, Sky Bet EFL and more thanks to Now’s Sports membership.<\/p>\n You can also subscribe for a month that costs \u00a326 a month.\u00a0<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/73\/590x\/secondary\/Lewis-Hamilton-George-Russell-4952294.jpg?r=1694341491764\")
