Wolff Warns Russell Faces Japanese GP Challenge

Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff has warned that George Russell will face similar handling issues during the Japanese Grand Prix after a pre-qualifying car tweak backfired.

Wolff confirmed changes made to Russell's car caused excessive oversteer in qualifying. He stated, "We did a set-up tweak on the other side."

The Briton is expected to struggle in the race, with the team likely seeking further adjustments to resolve the handling problems before the start.
