no one trusts from Mercedes. Nobody trusts what the numbers say about the star team. From what is drawn by seeing Bahrain test data. Nobody trusts, because say what they say and seem what it seems, they are always there. On a good day, on a regular one… and on a bad one too.
They are the team that causes the most doubts. They and Aston Martin. The seconds, for its tremendous potential in Sakhir; the first, for those ‘things’ that were seen on the asphalt. Not because of the time, which was good, but because of the details.
Details like the blocks that were marked by both Hamilton and Russell. As for the braking passes. As for those scares and contravolantes that they both had to do. And when the same thing happens with the two drivers, you have to look at the car.
“Mercedes? It’s hard to read…”
That’s where Red Bull has looked. Christian Horner, head of the energy drink brand, has taken stock in statements collected by Formula 1. And not even he, who is one of those who knows the most about this, has a place to place Mercedes.
“Ferrar seems fast, but Mercedes… Her form is hard to read right now”, account.
And he drops it: “Are they hiding something? We’ll see. Everything will become clear at the Bahrain GP.”
The truth is that Mercedes is one of those names to fear and a lot at Red Bull. They are aware what it cost to beat them in 2021, in a last round of heart attack in Abu Dhabi. And they are also aware that, without them, they did much better in 2022.
Of course, in Mercedes they do not want what happened last year to happen to them again. With the ‘porposing’ still present in his car, They have a plan B ready. to the design without pontoons, which is not that it has given them very positive results. Or, at least, it has not given them the results they wanted.
