Good wishes pouring in from all across the globe for the beloved Queen Elizabeth II.

The Mercedes duo set for a boost in Baku

The Mercedes Englishmen have started the season with an underwhelming W13. Better performance in Barcelona, as compared to Monaco, is forcing Mercedes to look for a long-term solution. And with the track conditions of Baku, the team could predict continued troubles with the W13.

Because of this, the Silver Arrows are making the W13 suitable to work on a wider range of circuits. Trackside engineer Andrew Shovlin said, “We’re working on areas though to try and improve that ride, try and be able to run the car a bit closer to its optimal window. But we are well aware that in addition to adding base performance to the car we’ve got to make it work over a wider range of circuits.”
