Mercedes Working to Improve Race Starts Ahead of Miami Grand Prix

According to George Russell, the Mercedes team is diligently working to enhance their race starts, a weakness they have been trying to overcome. 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. The team's biggest flaw is their start, but they have been able to fight back and win the first three races due to their pace. Ferrari has been the best starter so far this season, thanks to their smaller turbo, which allows for quicker spin-up and an easier launch. Russell emphasized that while practice starts are limited, the team has been focusing on analyzing data to improve their starts. With the return of the Formula 1 season in Miami in May, the team is gearing up for two sprint races and is working tirelessly behind the scenes to address their weakness.
