Lewis Hamilton feels Mercedes have a “good platform to build off” after enjoying his “best” Friday of the year at the F1 Singapore Grand Prix.
Russell added: “It was a very positive Friday for us overall. The car is feeling really good around the circuit.
“The times were very tight between several cars. Ferrari looked quick, particularly on the single lap. The long run performance across a number of competitors was also strong but we can be optimistic heading into the weekend.Mercedes trackside engineering director Andrew Shovlin said: “We've had solid sessions today and both drivers have finished the day happy with the balance.
“The long run was quite strong. It's always tough keeping the heat out of the rear tyres here but we look to be more or less on the pace.
