Мерцедес за Азербайджан


Тото Волф:
Three 1-2s in the first three races represent a fantastic start to the season. We were able to maximise our opportunities, although we didn't always have the fastest car. The team has done a very good job and performed strongly in every department, the double-stacked pit stop in Shanghai is just one visible example of many that are happening every week at all levels of the team. But we know that we need to keep pushing. The next stop will take us to Azerbaijan where we've seen some very entertaining races in recent years and I'm sure that this year will be no different. The layout of the track presents unique challenges and it will be interesting to see which team will find the best compromise to deal with the mixture of long straights and slow corners. Baku is not purely about performance, though, and staying out of trouble is also important for a good result in Azerbaijan. Valtteri drove a strong race last year but a puncture denied him a well-deserved victory shortly before the end. He's had a good start to this season and I'm sure he will be hungry to go for the points he didn't get last year. Unlike last year, Lewis heads to Baku leading the Championship and will undoubtedly be looking to repeat his win from 2018.
