James Allison says chasing Red Bull is 'exhilarating' for Mercedes despite the team going through a winless streak. 'It is thrilling in its own way to be fighting back.' F1
dropped the ball with its 2022 car and has since been working its way back in contention, with a concept change of its 2023 car offering hope that it has finally turned the page.
"We're all going to feel a bit miffed about [not being competitive], even though that sort of unhappiness we see every time they win is offset hugely by the fact that it is thrilling in its own way to be fighting back, to be improving our car week-on-week," Allison said. "It’s a very, very exhilarating thought once you frame it correctly in your head, and something that we're all tucked into trying to make a reality."Mercedes' spirits were lifted by a double podium in the Spanish Grand Prix, which proved the clearest example that its new floor, sidepod and suspension designs have given it a better baseline to challenge Red Bull with.
"I think that both our drivers are very similar to the rest of the team in that if you sense that there is a change of momentum, that gives you a huge boost that you keep this running and the good times and the champagne will flow again.
