Don't get your hopes up for a Mercedes v Red Bull title challenge next season.
George Russell has conceded that Mercedes are going to have make “huge gains” in a very short space of time to have any chance of catching Red Bull as early as next season.
However, if the once mighty Mercedes are going to re-establish themselves as a serious title contender again so soon, the team have a massive job on their hands.“We’ve been a bit back and forth with our development, we took one step forward, two steps back with a number of updates we brought, especially last year. We had to take a lot of performance off the car because we were struggling with the bouncing.
“So you can argue that the 2020 car of Mercedes in terms of maybe not the dominance, but in terms of competitiveness, or pace delta for some of the races is not too dissimilar to Red Bull.”Russell was also keen for Mercedes not to fallen victim to the F1 hype machine that so often chews drivers and teams up, only to spit them out just as quickly.
