Former F1 Team Boss Eddie Jordan Predicts Mercedes cruising to their 8th Title
Team Mercedes in 2020 season

The 2021 F1 season is less than 2 months away to start off with in Bahrain. Ahead of that start Former F1 Team Boss, Eddie Jordan predicts that Team Mercedes are in prime position to lift their 8th Title. Whoever hopes for the Silver Arrows domination on the grid to come to an end, Jordan has put them back to reality for sure. 

The Silver Arrows still remarkably haven’t finalized their drivers’ line-up. However, with the machine at their disposal, it wouldn’t matter if it’s Lewis Hamilton or anyone else driving for them. Having said that, once a deal with Hamilton comes through, the Silver Arrows would become virtually untouchable. 

Eddie Jordan predicts Mercedes bright future 

Jordan said as per BBC, “The sport is in a difficult situation because no-one can put their finger on Mercedes. They do it better than anybody else. 

“Racing Point won a race last year, that was amazing from Sergio Perez, and Max Verstappen (Red Bull) won the last race but that shouldn’t confuse people into thinking it will be much more open.” 

Jordan went on to explain why he expects no one to challenge the Brackley-based outfit. 

“Mercedes have the best people and the best engine, so how can they not win the championship? That’s a problem for me. 

“It’s difficult to find the right sponsorship and you’re just not going to compete with that.” 

There may be the odd race like in 2020, where luck didn’t go Mercedes way. Having said that, Eddie’s words hold a lot of truth. Apart from the points he mentioned, it’s worth remembering that car development is virtually frozen for this year. This means teams won’t have any shot of outdoing last year’s W11 car that bossed the grid.
