Toto Wolff揭示了乔治·拉塞尔在新加坡大奖赛恢复背后的问题
拉塞尔获得了10个位置，但在滨海湾街道赛道的比赛中难以超越前面的车辆
对于梅赛德斯车迷来说，这里是关于银箭的最新消息，包括来自布拉克利和布里克斯沃思的一级方程式新闻、车手更新、赛车发展和比赛分析
从第19位攀升到第9位在街道赛道上听起来像是一个不错的周日工作，对于乔治·拉塞尔来说确实是如此。但这并没有达到梅赛德斯原本设定的目标，Toto Wolff现在已经解释了原因。
沃尔夫的论点是，滨海湾街道对那些接近前方车辆的人进行惩罚。
"我觉得在这里超车非常困难。一旦你追上前方车辆，你会有那么大的尾流，那么多的脏空气，你会失去下压力，我想在那个阶段，他可能比前方的人快了1.5秒，但你无法超越。"
"所以我们的最佳情况是第7名。如果一切顺利，我想你知道第9名我们也应该感到满意。对他来说，这是一场从后开始，然后到目前为止我认为他开了一场精彩的比赛。"
他还用一点幽默的方式指出，通过车阵的战斗"给他们带来了很好的电视转播，不是吗？"
拉塞尔在评价自己的表现时说：
"第一圈进展顺利。第二圈，尼科[胡肯伯格]在防守方面做得很好。相当具有挑战性，但嗯，也就这么多可以说的了。"
他本可以在虚拟安全车期间通过进站获得提升；然而，他又遭遇了更多的坏运气，因为VSC结束时他正在维修区入口。
"是的，我的意思是如果再多10秒...五秒、10秒、20秒，这会帮助改善情况，但我不会因此睡不着觉。"他说。"我认为对我们车队来说，最重要的是尝试理解我们将如何找到更多的性能，因为红牛在过去三周在三个截然不同的赛道上的表现都非常令人印象深刻。"
拉塞尔在周日比赛中因为动力单元故障被迫退出了马来西亚大奖赛，这导致他获得了60个位置的网格处罚。更换多个动力单元组件、能量存储和控制电子单元导致了这位英国车手所遭受的巨大处罚。
费尔南多·阿隆索、兰斯·斯特罗尔和伊萨克·哈达尔从维修区出发，而拉塞尔则在发车线上从第19位起步。

Toto Wolff reveals problem behind George Russell's Singapore GP recovery
Russell gained 10 places but struggled to overtake cars ahead on the Marina Bay street circuit
For Mercedes fans. All the latest from the Silver Arrows, with F1 news, driver updates, car development and race analysis from Brackley and Brixworth.
Climbing from 19th to ninth on a street circuit sounds like a decent Sunday's work, and for George Russell it was. It also fell short of what Mercedes had pencilled in, and Toto Wolff has now laid out why.
Wolff's argument is that Marina Bay punishes anyone who gets close to the car ahead.
"I think it's so difficult here to overtake. The moment you catch the car in front, you have such a wake, so much dirty air that you lose downforce, and I think at that stage he was probably one and a half seconds faster than the guys in front of him, but you can't pass.
"So our best case scenario was P7. If it would have gone smoothly, I think you know P9 we need to be happy with that. It was a damage limitation race for us with him starting from the back and then so far I think he drove a great race."
He also noted, with a bit of dry humour, that the fight through the field "gave them good TV coverage, no?"
Russell, commenting on his performance, said:
"First stint made good progress. Second stint, Nico [Hulkenberg] did a good job defending. Pretty much challenging, but yeah, not much more to say."
He could have been boosted by a pitstop under the VSC; however, he faced yet more bad luck as the VSC ended as he was on the pit entry.
"Yeah, I mean 10 seconds more... five, 10, 20 seconds more it would have helped the picture, but I'm not going to lose any sleep over that," he said. "I think the main thing for us as a team is to try and understand how we're going to find more performance, because the performance of Red Bull has been very impressive the last three weeks on three very different circuits."
Russell went into the Sunday with a 60-place grid penalty after a power unit failure forced him out of the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia. The replacement of multiple power-unit components, plus the Energy Store and the Control Electronics Unit, resulted in the massive penalty that the Briton was plagued with.
Fernando Alonso, Lance Stroll and Isack Hadjar started in the pitlane, leaving Russell starting P19 on the grid.
