拉塞尔警告法拉利在墨西哥大奖赛或占优势
梅赛德斯车手拉塞尔认为，法拉利较小的涡轮可能在墨西哥大奖赛的高海拔赛道上带来优势。墨西哥城赛道海拔超过2200米，稀薄空气会降低下压力与冷却效率，并迫使涡轮更费力地供给发动机。

梅赛德斯一级方程式车手乔治·拉塞尔认为，法拉利更小的涡轮可能在本次高海拔的罗德里格斯兄弟赛道举行的墨西哥大奖赛上给其带来优势。
墨西哥城赛道海拔超过2200米。稀薄空气会降低下压力和冷却效果，并迫使涡轮增压器更费力地为发动机供气。
在墨西哥车手新闻发布会上接受媒体采访时，拉塞尔被问及海拔是否会让本周末变得困难。
“这会非常有趣，”他说。“我认为涡轮迟滞本周末对很多车队来说都会是一个重要因素。显然这不是秘密，法拉利等车队的涡轮比大多数车队都小，所以他们在这方面可能相当有优势。”
“我们还不确定这会有多具挑战性，但可以肯定地预见它不会轻松。”
梅赛德斯也仍在努力理解其最新升级套件，这位28岁的车手在美国大奖赛上对此感到吃力。他在奥斯汀获得第八名，而他的队友、当前领跑积分榜的安东内利则赢得了本赛季第九个大奖赛冠军。
“自从我们把这一套件装上车后，对我们来说就有点奇怪，”拉塞尔补充道。“显然，我们最初是在马来西亚引入它，那对我们两人来说都是相当艰难的一个周末。然后基米在新加坡用上了它。同样，不是一个轻松的周末。
“我在奥斯汀重新用上了它，在我这边挣扎了很多。而他显然跑了一场非常强劲的比赛。我们在特性上看到的一些情况表明，它只在非常狭窄的窗口内发挥作用。所以我们需要努力拓宽这个窗口。”
拉塞尔目前在车手锦标赛中排名第二，落后安东内利123分，而安东内利有机会在本周末锁定冠军。

George Russell warns Ferrari could have major advantage at Mexican GP
George Russell believes Ferrari's smaller turbo could give it an advantage at the Mexican Grand Prix

For Mercedes fans. All the latest from the Silver Arrows, with F1 news, driver updates, car development and race analysis from Brackley and Brixworth.
Mercedes Formula 1 driver George Russell believes Ferrari's smaller turbo could give it an advantage at this weekend's Mexican Grand Prix at the high-altitude Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez circuit.
The circuit in Mexico City sits more than 2200 metres above sea level. The thin air reduces downforce and cooling and forces turbochargers to work much harder to feed the engine.
While speaking to the media during the drivers' press conference in Mexico, Russell was asked whether the altitude would make this weekend difficult.
"It’s going to be very interesting," he said. "I think turbo lag is going to be a big factor for a lot of teams this weekend. There’s obviously no secret, the likes of Ferrari have a smaller turbo than most, so they probably have quite an advantage in this regard.
"We’re not sure as yet how challenging it will be, but can definitely foresee it being not straightforward."
Mercedes is also still trying to understand its latest upgrade package, which the 28-year-old struggled with at the United States Grand Prix. He finished eighth in Austin and his team-mate and current championship leader Kimi Antonelli claimed his ninth grand prix victory of the season.
"It’s been a little bit strange for us since we brought this package to the car," Russell added. "Obviously, we first brought it in Malaysia, and it was a pretty tough weekend for the two of us. And then Kimi had it on in Singapore. Again, not a straightforward weekend.
"I had it back on in Austin and struggled a lot on my side. And he obviously had a very strong race. And we are seeing some things in the characteristics that just show that it performed in a very narrow window. So we need to try and widen that."
Russell currently sits second in the drivers' championship, 123 points behind Antonelli, who has the opportunity to claim the title this weekend.
