“The most encouraging thing is the improvement in the pace that we have seen this weekend; a lot of hard work has gone into understanding the issues and bringing parts to the track for this race.

“We’ve got some unusual tracks coming up, starting with Monaco where we need to focus more on low-speed performance but we’ve got some parts in the pipeline that can hopefully help in that regard. After some tough months in Brackley and Brixworth, it was great to feel like we were racing again, we’re determined to be part of the battle for these championships and today has given us belief that we can do just that,” the Silver Arrows’ engineering director further added.
Mercedes showed up nearer to the leaders the entire end of the week in a ‘reassuring’ sign for the group. On Sunday, they appeared to come up short on the race speed of Red Bull, but considering their previous performances, they did improve a lot.
