Russell demands same car as Antonelli after Spa disasterGeorge Russell's championship deficit to Mercedes teammate Kimi Antonelli has doubled to 50 points after another power unit problem contributed to his first-lap retirement at Spa.
Russell had already spent the Spa weekend complaining that his car was mysteriously slower than Antonelli's, particularly on the straights - having had a similar complaint at Silverstone.
It was probably 50 percent down to the power unit, which wasn't as good as it should have been, he said.
Overall, he's improved a lot, but he's still struggling to find a common language with the car.
We have the most powerful power unit and a top car capable of winning, he said.
