George Russell thinks a"strange" track surface at Suzuka has triggered massive tyre degradation, which has left Formula 1's Japanese Grand Prix on the verge of being a three-stopper.driver said that the opening day of practice on Friday had been a puzzling one, as there was so little grip on offer.Max VerstappenHe suggested that the asphalt, which includes newly laid sections through Turns 3, 4 and 7, was not behaving as anticipated.

"Definitely, when we go to tracks like Jeddah, or Melbourne, on this newer Tarmac, it is really high grip," he said."Even in Singapore in the new section, it was really fun for drivers to drive on and it doesn't offer much tyre degradation.
"It was a half reasonable day, to be honest," he said."Red Bull are back to the normal ways, which I don't think is a major surprise. For many, they seem very, very quick.
