Mercedes Intensifies Efforts to Enhance Race Starts

George Russell reveals that Mercedes is diligently working to improve their race starts, a crucial aspect that has hindered their performance despite showcasing impressive pace. The team has secured four front-row lockouts in the initial three Grands Prix and Sprint but has struggled to maintain the lead after the first lap. Ferrari, on the other hand, has excelled in starts this season, attributing their success to their compact turbo. Russell emphasizes that while direct practice of starts is limited, the team is leveraging data analysis and simulation to address this weakness. Mercedes is focused on rectifying this flaw ahead of the upcoming Miami Grand Prix, where they aim to capitalize on their pace and secure better results.
