George Russell says there is a genuine, unexplained problem costing him on the straights. "Every lap I do I am anywhere between 2 and 6 tenths down on the straights. It is pretty infuriating," Russell said. "I don't think it is the power unit. There is something slowing me down on the straights." Team principal Toto Wolff admitted Mercedes are "seeing a deficit" they "can't currently explain," the same issue that appeared at Silverstone. It cost Russell a grid spot, with team-mate Kimi Antonelli quicker into Turn 15. 📸📰 via @F1GuyDan (X) #F1 #Mercedes #Russell #Antonelli
