Marc Priestley reckons Mercedes are one 'final ingredient' away from being in the F1 title fight once more.
Marc Priestley believes Mercedes have nine out of 10 of the ingredients to succeed this season, and will get back to fighting to race victories once they find that last missing piece.
Mercedes have lagged behind Red Bull and Ferrari so far this season, sometimes by more than a second per lap in qualifying trim, having been plagued by porpoising earlier in the year, which caused both Lewis Hamilton and George Russell significant pain – both physically and in terms of hindering the W13’s overall performance.
“All the best teams are looking for marginal gains, where you’re just looking for a 1% improvement on every single thing that you do. And that’s from the drivers, to the pitstop crew, to everybody,” Priestley explained on the PitStop Podcast. “Because to win a World Championship is an indescribably difficult thing to do, you need so many elements to be perfect to make it happen.
