Former Haas Formula 1 team principal Guenther Steiner believes Mercedes will silence its doubters at this weekend's Austrian Grand Prix, predicting that the Brackley outfit will bounce back "firing on all cylinders" despite the threat of Ferrari.
During an appearance on The Red Flags Podcast ahead of the race weekend at the Red Bull Ring, Steiner dismissed suggestions that Mercedes could be continuously outperformed by Ferrari. He argued that the Toto Wolff-led team would have been working in the background for some time, rather than waiting for another team to bring decent upgrades before reacting.
