Toto Wolff admitted his team's "table of doom" tells him Mercedes may struggle to compete with Red Bull at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
For the first time in 2022, the Silver Arrows come into a race weekend as winners of the previous round. And they did it in style, with George Russell winning a Formula 1 race for the first time and Lewis Hamilton just behind him in second place.
It was a remarkable result, considering Mercedes have been a long way off Red Bull and Ferrari in terms of performance all year long. But improvements have been made and that result at Interlagos was a statement that the Silver Arrows are back in contention.
