There Mercedes was the surprise on Friday in Miami. But is George Russell’s first place in FP2 a real rebirth or a flash in the pan? At Brackley they go there with lead feet: there is satisfaction with the growth of the W13 but the pace continues to be quite inadequate compared to Red Bull and Ferrari. Further indications on long runs, however, will arrive in PL3.
Meanwhile, Mercedes appears to have improved the issue of the porpoisingreal ballast for the performances of this start of the season: “Perhaps this rehearsal day gave us an idea of what the picture might look like if porpoising weren’t there“Commented team principal Toto Wolff to Auto Motor und Sport. Also at the German magazine, an engineer from the Brackley team added: “We are lower and lower with the car. Eventually, the cars again suffered porpoising because we demanded too much. But here we can drive with a vehicle height from the ground which guarantees us good lap times“.
