Mercedes Working to Improve Race Starts Ahead of Miami Grand Prix

George Russell has revealed that the Mercedes team is putting in significant effort to enhance their race starts, a crucial area of improvement for the team. Despite achieving four front row lockouts in the first three Grands Prix and Sprint, neither Russell nor his teammate has managed to take the lead after the opening lap. The team's ability to recover and win the initial three races, however, demonstrates their overall pace. Ferrari has shown exceptional starting skills this season, thanks to their compact turbo, which allows for quicker spin-up times. Mercedes is focusing on analyzing data to address their weakness, with Russell emphasizing the team's behind-the-scenes work to rectify the issue. With limited opportunities to practice starts, the team is relying on simulator analysis and data review to identify areas for improvement. The Miami Grand Prix, scheduled for May 1-3, will be a crucial test for the team's progress.
