“I’m not too sure. there’s no stand-outs that really spring to mind,” Russell said when asked to analyse several circuits a few months ago. “Singapore could be interesting, but historically it’s a circuit where Mercedes have struggled a little bit, and we know at street circuits this year we haven’t fared so well.”
The 24-year-old has had a new floor put into his W13 car in a bid to stop the bouncing effect. However, he has insisted that he remains wary about how his vehicle will perform.
Russel said in August: “I think we’ve made a lot of progress in that regard. But I think we also know that we’ve had to lose quite a lot of performance to achieve that. Naturally, as we’re going to be pushing the boundaries again, we’re under no illusion that the porpoising may return.
“This is a competitive sport and we accept that we may just have to live with it, and that may be the best compromise to get the fastest lap. So we’ll have to see, but there’s been no doubt that it’s being slightly circuit dependent as well.”
