Well, you never know 100%. But this is for sure is the most confident we have been over the last three years of what we've brought to the car. This is natural as well, we're all gaining experience, we're all three years into these regulations.
George Russell said post qualifying in Barcelona

Mercedes endured a difficult start to the season and was the fourth-fastest team on the grid until the Monaco Grand Prix. But the Silver Arrows experimented and perfected their upgrades after their run at Imola and are now one of the most competitive teams on the grid along with the likes of Red Bull and McLaren.

The Brackley-based team will be pleased with their performance this weekend after a difficult start to the season. The upcoming races in Austria and Silverstone will test the team further as they look to continue their form in F1.
