Russell Blames Mercedes Power Issue for Collision with Hamilton The collapse of George Russell's Belgian GP challenge was a stark reminder that reliability can be a game changer in Formula 1.
The incident with Lewis Hamilton on the first lap left many wondering about the root cause, but Mercedes' Toto Wolff has now confirmed what Russell had hinted at earlier: a power issue with their engines.
Wolff's admission raises more questions than answers. If all Mercedes engines are struggling to deliver adequate power on straights, it's puzzling that they haven't addressed this issue before.
