Wolff<\/a> also pointed to this as the likely cause for Russell\u2019s struggles in the session when quizzed on what had happened.<\/p>\n\u201cI think we did probably a set-up [change] on the other side, something we did that we expected to have less impact than it had,\u201d Wolff explained.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt put the car on the nose, so too much oversteer, and that made it very difficult for him.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pushed further on whether this had been to protect any tyres for the race, and if the issue was something that could be changed for race day, the Austrian responded: \u201cNo, it\u2019s probably the opposite \u2013 I think he needs to carry this into the race now, which is certainly a disadvantage, but these things happen.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sharing his thoughts on Antonelli\u2019s Qualifying, Wolff spoke positively about the 19-year-old\u2019s attitude and approach.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think when you hear his radio communication, also in the intercom in the garage, he\u2019s just calm, not putting himself too much under pressure, putting the one lap in that was very good \u2013 Bono [Pete Bonnington, Antonelli\u2019s Race Engineer] told him to put a banker in,\u201d said Wolff.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd then he pushed it a little bit hard on the last one and it wasn\u2019t so good, but it\u2019s really pleasing to see.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Toto Wolff has conceded that George Russell with face a \u201cdisadvantage\u201d entering the Japanese Grand Prix, with the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":566842,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[441],"tags":[49,48,578,576,577,82],"class_list":["post-566841","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-formula-1","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-f1","tag-formula-1","tag-formula1","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/566841","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=566841"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/566841\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/566842"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=566841"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=566841"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=566841"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
