Despite struggling to contest for the top places in the first two races this season, Mike Elliott is upbeat regarding Mercedes' ability to compete going forward.
The Silver Arrows' technical director boasts more than two decades of experience working as an aerodynamicist in Formula 1 and moved to Mercedes shortly before Lewis Hamilton's reign of dominance. Both Hamilton and team-mate George Russell have lacked the pace necessary to rein in Red Bull in the first two races of 2023, but Elliott believes the necessary changes are being made to improve their fortunes.
"We are starting to see some of the development come through already that is going to get us back into this championship fight," he said, per Sky Sports F1. "And all we can do is just keep pushing - I've been really pleased to see the attitude in the team."
