For the second year in a row, Mercedes loses to Red Bull Racing by more than a hundred points after the first four Grand Prix, but team leader Toto Wolff thinks there is progress…
Toto Wolff: “We finished in the same positions as we started, but the race turned out to be difficult. We were fast in the second stint and could have fought for the podium if it hadn’t been for the first stint. We need to find out what’s going on. Was it too hot? Do we have the settings wrong?
I believe that in reality everything is not as bad as it seems at first glance. And we learned a lot in qualifying. It will only get better.
We have to be fast everywhere. You cannot justify your failures by the temperature of the asphalt and the configuration of the track. This needs to be addressed.
For us, the start of the season is a continuation of testing. We have changed a lot, which affects the results. The car is getting faster.”
