Mercedes believes it is unlikely it will be as competitive in Brazil as it was in Mexico, and is also expecting Ferrari to fight back. F1
However, while altitude is still an issue in Brazil it is not as extreme, and in addition the lower downforce levels won't favour the W13 as much as Mexico City did.
"The first is that we put a large update kit on in Austin and that did move us forward, and that evidence was even more present really in Mexico. "I think also Austin being a very tricky windy conditioned race meant that perhaps we didn't see the full extent of the performance update, whereas in Mexico there was no real wind to speak of. We have a car now that seems to be balanced and is working well.
"In terms of relative to Red Bull, they still hold the edge relative to us. I don't think it is quite the three tenths they outqualified us by, but it will be a few tenths across the next few races."We are getting closer and closer, compared to where we were at the beginning of the season, where at times we were struggling to get out of Q1 or into Q3, to where we are now which is we are within a whisker of fighting for our first win. We have moved forward.
