Mercedes will "consistently" bring new parts to their car over the next few races as team boss Toto Wolff unveiled an aggressive upgrades schedule.
It will be music to the ears of Lewis Hamilton and George Russell who, like last year, do not have a car capable of matching their ambitions. The Silver Arrows had to settle for just the one win last year, when Russell took victory over his team-mate in Brazil.
Hopes of an immediate return to the front of the grid were dashed when Mercedes turned up to the first race in Bahrain with the fourth fastest car. Saudi Arabia did not yield much more joy for them, though they found pace in the Australian Grand Prix.
