Allison: We need to control the race pace more effectively.

      Mercedes plans to bring technical innovations for the next three stages of the season, which will be held in a row with weekly breaks in Imola, Monaco and Barcelona. James Allison hopes that this will help to reduce the gap from McLaren.

      In Miami, Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris provided their team with a winning double, while George Russell, who took 3rd place, reached the finish line almost 38 seconds behind the leader.

      "Actually, we are introducing new products. Although they are not very noticeable or interesting, their flow remains stable," said the technical director of Mercedes. – Some of the ones that we plan to present at the next few races will be more visible from the outside. If we are a little lucky, they will help us improve our position.

      A quarter of the season has already passed, and it has passed very quickly for the teams. When racing takes place in a similar rhythm, it's not easy to upgrade the car. Hopefully, the ones that will be presented at the next two or three races will allow us to move forward a bit.

      We will also continue to try to deal with the problem of rubber temperature during the race, and this will also help us."

      In Miami, Kimi Antonelli started from pole position in the sprint, and in the main qualifying of the weekend, the Mercedes debutant showed the 3rd result, losing to Max Verstappen by only 0.067 seconds, and to Norris by only two thousandths.

      According to Allison, if you learn to better control the tire temperature throughout the race, this will immediately allow you to make significant progress.: "Since we qualified quite confidently in the first few stages of the season, I think we can expect to be able to start from relatively good positions in the future.

      If you're lucky, the new items will help you achieve further improvements. But the main task that we are prioritizing is to control the race pace more effectively: we must try to ensure that the results on Sundays confirm our promising achievements on Saturday.

      And it mainly depends on how we control the tire temperature during the race, because this will allow us to take full advantage of the pace that the car is capable of."
