Looking for back-to-back wins in 2022, GeorgeRussell63 admits redbullracing looks to have a pace advantage in the AbuDhabiGP after Friday practice. Story:
Verstappen ended the session three-tenths of a second clear of Russell at the head of the timesheets, while Hamilton was a further two-tenths of a second back in fourth place.
Russell felt it had been a “very strong day” for Mercedes, having run a number of test items on his car in FP1 to help development for 2023, but believed Red Bull just had the edge in terms of pace.“Single lap, probably two-tenths ahead, long run maybe even further.
“We know they’ve got a really slippery car down the straight, very efficient, and on a circuit like this with two long straights and lots of slow speed corners, this kind of suits them down to a tee.
