Mercedes, Wolff: “The Melbourne race will be the test of truth”

The Mercedes starts from absolute favourite. After a fluctuating start in Jerez de la Frontera, right on the occasion of the last session in Barcelona, ​​he left crumbs to his opponents, revealing the cards and showing how the W06 Hybrid was born with the clear intention of defend the title Drivers' and Constructors' World Championship won in the 2014 season. At the end of the three winter test sessions, the men from Brackley literally monopolized the top positions of the cumulative time rankings and yet, as explained by the director of Mercedes Motorsport, Toto Wolff, before singing victory, you will need to wait for the end of the first race of the year, which will take place in Melbourne this Sunday.

“Last year, since there was a big change from a regulatory point of view, everyone knew that the biggest challenge would be to do a great job and I can say that I did a lot between Brackley, Brixworth and Stuttgart to try to obtain results and this led us to be protagonists of very constructive tests – commented Toto Wolff – Making predictions now is a bit like trying to light in a crystal ball: to really understand in which position we find ourselves we will have to wait for Melbourne and the following Grands Prix. But so far we haven't taken part in a race yet and that's all it will be the most truthful test“, he concluded
