Mercedes Intensifies Efforts to Enhance Race Starts

According to George Russell, the Mercedes team is diligently working to improve their race starts, with a focus on analyzing data to address their current weakness. Despite having 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. However, the team's pace has allowed them to fight back and secure wins. Ferrari, on the other hand, has excelled in starts this season, thanks to their compact turbo design. Russell emphasized that while opportunities to practice starts are limited, the team is leveraging data analysis and simulator sessions to refine their strategy. With the Miami Grand Prix approaching, Mercedes is gearing up to tackle the challenge, aware that the next two sprint races will be crucial.
