In addition to the temperature challenge, the windy conditions at Silverstone further complicated matters and prevented Mercedes from accurately assessing the effectiveness of their latest upgrade. Russell admitted that the team made several changes between the practice sessions, but they may not have compensated enough for the conditions or the learning process.
Despite the difficulties, Russell remains hopeful and finds solace in the support of the home crowd. Racing in front of his home fans gives him something to be positive about and fuels his determination to bounce back stronger on the following day.
