George Russell calls for F1 rethink as cars are “forced to run so low and so stiff”

Following a disappointing qualifying session at the United States Grand Prix where he secured a sixth-place start, Mercedes Formula 1 driver George Russell has called for a sport-wide rethink regarding car setup regulations. Russell argued that current rules force cars to run excessively low and stiff.

The debate over vehicle ride heights and stiffness highlights ongoing technical challenges within the sport. Meanwhile, teammate Kimi Antonelli secured pole position for the upcoming race, contrasting sharply with Russell's grid position.
