Mercedes, the Formula One team of George Russell and Kimi Antonelli, is investigating what they describe as a "serious issue" affecting the younger driver's race results. [1] The company believes there may be differences in driving styles or other factors contributing to Russell losing time compared to his teammate during races. This investigation comes after Russell had come to believe that his own style of driving was the reason for him falling behind Antonelli, which has led to concerns about team strategy and performance balance.

[3] This issue is not unique to Mercedes; it reflects a common problem in Formula One where maintaining consistent results across all team members can be difficult due to individual driver differences and varying strategies.
