George Russell says Mercedes have a "mountain to climb" to catch Red Bull in 2024.
Mercedes currently sit fourth in the F1 constructors’ championship, two points behind McLaren in third.
According to various GPS data, Mercedes were losing out to all nine teams in a number of corners in Jeddah, including Alpine, who have the slowest car in F1 currently. “We’ve gone well here the last two seasons,” he said. “We qualified second and third here last year, we were fighting for the win at one point. We’ve learned so much from the first two races. I think we are definitely going out tomorrow to test a lot of things on the car to get a better handle on how to get the most out of this.
Russell believes Aston Martin’s swing in performance last year shows that things can change very quickly in F1.
