While there are updates on the way, Mercedes is not expecting to catch up with Red Bull in time for the SaudiArabianGP F1
Mercedes reserve driver Mick Schumacher is hoping the team will be closer to Red Bull’s pace in Saudi Arabia, but admitted they looked “super dominant” at the season opener in Bahrain.

“I mean, the Red Bull just looks super, super dominant. It looked really simple out there in some ways for Max and Checo,” Schumacher told the“I don’t think that there’s reason to believe that we’ll be at their pace, but hopefully we’ll be a bit closer.”
