The Formula 1 Championship has not started in the best possible way for Mercedes.
The world’s running squad is not finding the right pace during the races, and this trend has not been confirmed by the Grand Prix of China where the best result was Valter Botta’s second. The one who emits the alarm signal in the family of “silver arrows” is neither more nor less than the executive director of German team Toto Wolff.
“We are not on the required level, have been 3 races and we have not won any. What makes me even worse is that at Shanghai we were very slim enough to look like the third behind Ferrari and Red Bull. We have a lot of problems with the tire temperature ”
However the former Austrian driver is confident that in the upcoming races the Mercedes will be presented at high levels, despite admitting the significant rise of rivals
“Ferrari and Red Bull have improved a lot, but this is not a surprise, we looked forward to their growth, yet I believe that Mercedes will soon return to the levels of last season. We have to start winning since the Azerbaijan Grand Prix ”
The German team has dominated the Formula 1 championship in the last 4 editions by winning the championship title as for pilots with Hamilton and Rosberg as well as for constructors. In this season there has not yet been any success in the first three races, yet the “silver arrows” are at the top of the classification for constructors with a point more than Ferrari./Flashsport24
