After completing pre-season testing, Mercedes’ Technical Director James Allison discusses where the team stands compared to Red Bull and other competitors.
2024 pre-season testing has been completed and now everybody is trying to figure out what the pecking order will be when the lights go out in Bahrain next week.
After the final day of testing, Mercedes’ Technical Director James Allison was asked where he thinks Mercedes stands compared to other teams right now.
“I think this is quite hard,” the Briton said.
“Red Bull are in front. If you look at their race run from today, it’s quite fierce.

“But there’s a few people in the chasing pack who are reasonably strong. Ferrari look okay, I think we look okay.
“Fernando [Alonso] just did a pretty fair run today. So I’d say that would be my guess of the three chasers, but precisely in what order, not sure.
“I think maybe we looked teeny bit better in the long run, but a bit behind the Ferrari in the single lap stuff.
“So I think a lot will depend on who has a good week between now and then,” Allison concluded.
