Russell: We will achieve further improvements by Melbourne.

      The Mercedes team believes that the 2025 pre-season tests were productive, during these three days the drivers managed to drive almost 2,500 km, and an extensive array of data was collected. It is emphasized that George Russell and Kimi Antonelli have completed 458 laps between them, which is more than any other team. In addition, Russell ended Friday on the first line of the protocol.

      George Russell (1st): "The three days of testing in Bahrain were productive, everyone who worked in Brackley, Brixworth and here at the track did a great job, and we were able to gain quite a lot of mileage. The car is working well, we didn't have any problems.

      Unsurprisingly, some of our rivals look quite confident, especially McLaren. But by Melbourne, the information we have gathered and the knowledge we have gained will allow us to make further improvements.

      Kimi and I will spend a few days at the team base next week, where we will work on the simulator, and the whole team will continue to give 100 percent to achieve the best possible shape for the Australian Grand Prix. I want the season to start as soon as possible!"
