Toto Wolff has warned that his Mercedes team might still be some way off the pace of their Red Bull rivals at the start of the upcoming 2023 season.
The Silver Arrows were not able to compete for the titles last year as their W13 was not competitive enough. That left Lewis Hamilton and George Russell scrapping for every point and podium place they could get as the team tried to improve the car.
The Brits will hope to be back in contention for race wins and the championship again this year, but it all depends on how the W14 turns out. On that subject, team principal Wolff refuses to get his hopes up too much.
