Wolff attributes Russell's Belgian GP qualifying issues to straight-line speed

Toto Wolff revealed that George Russell's qualifying deficit to Kimi Antonelli at the Belgian Grand Prix is partially due to a lack of straight-line speed. Russell qualified P4, about half a second behind Antonelli, who secured pole position. Wolff noted that this performance issue is not entirely Russell's fault, as they are still analyzing the car's power unit and setup. Despite his struggles in the last two weekends, Russell was promoted to P3 after Lando Norris received a 10-place grid penalty. Antonelli leads the Drivers' standings by 25 points ahead of Sunday's race.
