F1 | Horner surprised by Mercedes' lack of performance: "It's incredible that they haven't won a race yet"

In the aftermath of the Chinese Grand Prix, the Circus is wondering about Mercedes' moment of slight decline. Results in hand, it's surprising how Lewis Hamilton e Valtteri Bottas were unable to achieve even one success in the first three races of 2018: if bad luck played its part in Melbourne, the W09's difficulties were quite evident in Shanghai.

There are already those who speak, in a decidedly early manner, of the end of a cycle. Chris horner, team principal of Red Bull, read the current situation of the German company like this: “In our sport it is inevitable that winning races becomes increasingly difficult. Maybe you stop doing it for a while. Mercedes has a very fast car and it's incredible that they didn't win any of these races, but in general our sport is quite cyclical”.

For Mercedes, therefore, the time has come to gather ideas and come together: “I don't know what's happening. Compared to Melbourne we have gone backwards" - He admitted Lewis Hamilton in the post-race. The executive director, however, was more cautious Toto wolff: “We need to stay calm, put our heads together and solve our problems. It's a complex situation, like everything else in Formula 1."
