Mercedes achieved a solid third and fourth place in the Canadian Grand Prix.

Currently, Mercedes is the fourth fastest team on the grid, behind Ferrari, McLaren, and Red Bull. However, during the Canadian GP, Mercedes showed promising performance in terms of speed and downforce on the high-speed circuit of Montreal, despite challenging conditions. The Technical Director warned that the team’s pace in Barcelona may not be as strong as in Montreal. However, he emphasized the importance of constantly bringing improvements to the car in a shorter timeframe to stay ahead of the competition. The Team Principal of Mercedes also expressed his satisfaction with the progress of the W15 after the race in Montreal, highlighting the incremental improvements made in its race pace with the introduction of new parts. The team aims to perform better on tracks that offer more overtaking opportunities, as demonstrated in Montreal. Mercedes will continue to work on improving its performance and matching the pace of McLaren and Ferrari. The race in Montreal showed the potential of Mercedes to return as a dominant force in Formula 1 with proper preparation and favorable conditions.
