Formula 1: Mercedes working enormously hard ahead of the Imola Grand Prix: Mercedes are working day and night to improve their performance as the Silver Arrows hope to guarantee Ferrari and Red Bull don’t expand their speed advantage at the front. Follow Formula 1 Live Updates on InsideSport.IN.
The Silver Arrows team will go through a ‘colossal’ measure of work ahead of the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix as they hope to stay up with Ferrari and Red Bull. Confirming the same, Mercedes’ Chief Strategist, James Vowles said, “I think often people see the race team on TV and think that’s the entire team. It’s not. We are fortunate to have a base in Brackley, and in Brixworth. Hundreds of people work every hour. They possibly can make this racing car fast, competitive, and a championship winner.”

“The work that goes on between races is enormous. There is a turnaround of components, there are upgrades, and there is an understanding of the problems that we have. And how do we move the performance forward both on the PU side and also on the chassis side,” he further added.
The Brackley-based team have kept themselves in the World Championship battle with a line of impressive outcomes. Despite their car being a lot slower than their direct rivals. Both Lewis Hamilton and George Russell have stood on the podium during the early rounds. Russell is second in the Drivers’ Championship standings, behind only Charles Leclerc, while Hamilton is not much far behind either.
However, they have admitted that their race pace is way off the mark as compared to Red Bull and Ferrari. Vowles has confirmed that the team is hoping to guarantee Ferrari and Red Bull don’t broaden their gap at the front, whilst also doing all they can to close the gap down.

Vowles added, “I suspect you will see an evolution of our competitors. We need to make sure we, at the very minimum, keep up with that. So, the work that takes place now is a review of what has happened in Melbourne. And an understanding of what we need to do going forward into Imola. And progress the car into a championship winner.”
