Mercedes still in front
After Australia, China also seems to be a land of conquest for Mercedeswho without too much effort brought home the front row of the Sprint Qualifyingagain with George Russell first and Andrea Kimi Antonelli second.
Toto Wolff he introduced himself to Sky Germanytrying to divert attention to the Mercedes engine, always at the center of the rival teams’ attention: “I’m really satisfied, there’s a good gap over the others. Our big advantage here is above all in cornering. Pierre Gasly with the Alpine probably had the best performance on the straights“.
The customer team case
Wolff he then wanted to return to Sky UK on the case relating to exchange of information with customer teams. The occasion is propitious, given that today McLaren climbed up to third and fifth place: “Everyone has a different concept and, without going into detail, McLaren has made some very different decisions to us on gear ratios for example. And that could be good or bad. The factory teams have an advantage, but it’s only a matter of time. The others have the same hardware and software. I have no doubt that McLaren have a formidable structure and it won’t be long before they are fighting for the top positions.”
