Russell: Monaco track will help conceal Mercedes’ weaknesses

George Russell believes that this weekend’s Monaco Grand Prix might offer Mercedes a chance for a good result given how the track’s layout should mitigate its car’s relative deficiencies.

Mercedes has so far endured a challenging 2024 season, with both Russell and Lewis Hamilton struggling to crack into the top three on race day.

But unlike most circuits on the F1 calendar, Monaco is a tight and twisty low-speed proposition, a trait that could potentially help the Brackley squad’s cause this weekend according to Russell.
