Such was Mercedes’ pace advantage at the Istanbul circuit that Red Bull advisor Marko says it was like they had the DRS open permanently.
“We have to think of something, because Mercedes are so fast on the straights,” the Austrian told ORF.
“They were almost 15km/h faster here, like when you drive with DRS.
“It’s been like this since Silverstone and the gap is only getting bigger…
“That engine superiority, I don’t know what it is and what we can do about it.
We need to optimise our chassis even more so that we can balance it out again somewhat.”
Both short spice & "the Helmut" online saying Mercede's have taken a step, I hope so, squeaky bum time now.
