Mercedes is gradually narrowing the gap with Red Bull and Ferrari ? In a recent interview with the media, Mercedes team leader Wolff talked about the current situation of the team and the outlook for the next eleven races. Wolff said: "We are only a few tenths of a second behind in some places. In the past few Within a month we have narrowed the gap by half, and we have a better understanding of the W13 car.”

Wolff is full of expectations for the upcoming French Grand Prix. The Mercedes team leader said: "Paul Ricard should be good. This is a very smooth track, a bit like Silverstone , with many high-speed corners. At least on paper, we will have Very good performance. "

dimensional Stapan recognized the current progress of the Mercedes team. He said in an interview: "Although the rule changes in the new season have put Mercedes at a disadvantage in the competition with Red Bull and Ferrari, we must not underestimate the strength of the team that has won eight consecutive championships. , Mercedes has made great progress compared to the beginning of the season, and now it is only a little behind Red Bull and Ferrari. "With the improvement of Mercedes-Benz, Verstappen also expressed his concerns. He believes that the second half of the season is likely to repeat the fierce conflict between Red Bull and Mercedes-Benz at the end of last season. The situation at that time may be worse than the current situation between Red Bull and Ferrari. The relatively friendly competition between
