Mercedes appears to be a threat to Verstappen's Red Bull after AustralianGP qualifying, but how close is it? Here's a look at what the GPS data tells us ⬇️ F1
Changeable weather in FP2 leaves all teams deprived of race simulations, but Russell has naturally promised to"go for it" in any dice with Verstappen. A breakdown of their one-lap pace suggests he is right not to roll over and declare the race to be a walkover for the RB19, as the first two rounds of the term might imply.
When Hamilton led the Mercedes charge in FP1, relative to Verstappen, the telemetry shows that he suffers most under initial acceleration out of the slower sequences before the W14 fights back through the mid-range. This poor getaway tallies with his uneasy relationship with the rear axle. But with the engines turned up into their most potent modes for Q3, the data from the shock turnaround on Saturday shows the Mercedes are much closer to the RB19 in the speed traps. There's just 1.2mph in Verstappen's favour over Russell into Turn 1. And, compared to practice, a more modest 3mph split between the machines before the braking zone into Turn 3.
