George Russell has admitted Mercedes are 'behind' Red Bull but backed his team to catch up over the course of the F1 season.
Mercedes finished P13 and P15 on the second day of testing in Bahrain with Russell seeing his time in the car cut short due to a hydraulics issue.
As such, Russell admitted that the team looked as if they were “behind” Red Bull but were confident that Mercedes would be able to make up that time as the season progressed.
