Wolff: We have to improve to fight for victories.

      According to the results of the Australian Grand Prix, Mercedes earned the same number of points as McLaren, and ranks second in the Constructors' Cup. The head of the team, Toto Wolff, believes that his team's cars are not yet able to claim victories in terms of pure speed.

      Toto Wolff: "If we talk about the pure pace of the car in the race, we should have finished fourth and fifth. I think we had a good first weekend, but if we evaluate the balance of power from the point of view that the glass is half empty, then it should be noted that McLaren has a very high pace. We need to figure this out and understand why they worked so carefully with the tires.

      We have to improve if we want to use our own speed to fight for wins and titles. We definitely need to find some kind of solution."

      In Melbourne, Kimi Antonelli proved to be the best of the debutants, finishing fourth. Toto Wolff praised his rider's performance: "We've known about his potential since he was a kid. He performs well under pressure. In qualifying, it wasn't Kimi's fault for what happened – he just hit a bump. Otherwise, he would have qualified much higher.

      In the race, Kimi slowly but surely overtook his rivals, making no mistakes. Yes, he had a slight turnaround, but otherwise the fourth place was fully deserved."
