Mercedes are cautious over their chances of replicating their Silverstone performance at this weekend’s F1 Hungarian Grand Prix.

Me♛rcedes have enjoyꦡed a remarkable upturn in form in recent weeks, taking two victories.

At the 🍷Bri𝓡tish Grand Prix last time out, Mercedes locked the front row out on merit and led a 1-2 during the dry phase of the race.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton converted that into his first F1 victory since the 2021 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, con🌃firming Mercedes’ progress is genuine.

However, with the Hungaroring track layout completely different to Silverstone’s - and track conditions expected to be significantly warmer, Mercedes are unsure whether they will be able to🦄 compete with Red Bull and McLaren.

Speaking on the , Mercedes trackside engineering chief Andrew Shovlꩲin said: “Well we certainly don’t think we won the last one, let’s win the next one. It almost makes you a bit more nervous that maintaining that performance we had in Silverstone is going to be v𝓰ery difficult.

“If you look at what is the big difference for Hungary is probably this is the test of whether or not we have got on top of our long run performance in hot conditions because in Barcelona and in Austria, we couldn’t mat💜𝔍ch Lando or Max on the long run - both those two cars were well ahead of us. We hopefully have made a bit of progress.”

Mercedes we﷽re comfortably behind the top two teams in Spain and Austria - where conditions were m🗹uch warmer.

While George Russell was able to win at the Red Bull Ring, thanks to 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen’s clash with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris, there was a clear deficit.

Shovlin is unsure Mer🌠cedes have reduce🅺d that gap just yet.

“If you look at the size of the gap at those two previous races, I’d be surprised if we can pull it in that significantly but then again, we were surpri💧sed by the first stint at Silverstone,” he added.

“We didn’t think ꦐin that dry bit of the race we’d be able to break awaওy. We thought that it would be like Barcelona where George got into the lead and then he’s got the two of them in his gearbox.

“That track throws up different demands. We can simulate some of those problems. We know the type of issues it will throw our way. We will just put our effort into the preparation side and make sure we can start with the best setup that we can. How do we develop it from ther💝e?”
