Mercedes’ reserve driver Mick Schumacher says the team “has always proven to be one of the best teams to kind of bring upgrades and turn things around”.
The Bahrain Grand Prix exposed the weaknesses of Mercedes’ chosen car concept, and the team is now in the process of evaluating which way to proceed.
The team’s reserve driver Mick Schumacher believes the team will be able to turn things around.
“In general, Mercedes has always proven to be one of the best teams to kind of bring upgrades and turn things around,” Schumacher said.
“And therefore, I think Lewis can be upbeat and positive. I’m a strong believer in the team, otherwise I probably wouldn’t have chosen this direction.
“Seeing how Toto [Wolff] works in his position is quite incredible, and I’m excited to see how the next few weeks are going to look because I’m sure it’s going to be very enlightening for me.

“Obviously, they’re in a spot that they don’t really want to be in. Because they’re used to a lot more, but the work definitely hasn’t stopped and it’s going to properly start now.”
While the W14 is expected to perform better at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, Mick says it’s still not realistic to think they will be able to challenge the Red Bulls.
“The Red Bull just looks super, super dominant. It looked really simple out there in some ways for Max [Verstappen] and Checo [Perez].
“I don’t think that there’s reason to believe that we will be at their pace, but hopefully we will be closer.
“I think that everybody’s keeping the positivity high, everybody’s trying to really also focus on the positives, and really looking ahead to hopefully turning things around,” the German concluded.
