Mercedes Formula 1 boss Toto Wolff reckons there is stil✃l plenty more performance to come from both his team and Red Bull as the 2020 season progresses.

Red Bull was tipped to provide Mercedes with its closest challenge heading into the delayed season and it proved to be the German manufacturer’s nearest ♛rivals at the opening two rounds at the Red Bull Ring, though Mercedes has enjoyed a clear adva🧸ntage.

Valtteri Bottas won the first race in Austria before Lewis Hamilton led home a Mercedes 1-2 in the Styrian Grand Prix, with Bottas battling back to pasꦰs Max Verstappen, who had fought Hamilton for pole position in a wet qualifying on Saturday.

“Lewis managed the gap,” said Wolff. “There was probably more in t𒆙here, but it is always a bit easier to lead than to follow in the dirty air.

“We saw Max commenting on how difficult it was to follow. 🍌Lewis had the same to say when lapping cars.

“ꦚTherefore💙, we may have seen everything from Max following, but maybe leading, we haven’t seen the full potential of the Red Bull and we haven’t seen the full potential of the Mercedes either.”

Wolff🐭 believes that Mercedes is “vulnerable” to Red Bull in the slow speed corners, and reckons that could result in the Hungarian Grand Prix b🐓eing a “properly different ballgame”.

“Where we lost to Red Bull was the slow speed, particularly Turn 3 and Turn 4, seem to be our vulnerabilities - everywhere else on the straights and in the fast corners, 🍎we are quicker,” he explained.

“So we just need to continue to develop and push and understand the c🌜ar. Budapest is a properly different ballgame, lots of downforce, lots of slow and medium speed corners, so we’ll see how it works there.”

And Hamilton, who 💜holds the record for the most wins at the Hungaroring with seven victories, is anticipating a closer battle against Red Bull in Hungary, adding the team will not be “pushovers” in the coming races.

“I think they’ve done a fantastic job so we’ve got to stay on our toes,” Hamilton said. "We’ve got to go to places like Hungary, where ♍the shorter Red Bull is usually very, very strong

“It is a circuit the Red Bulls do really well, think they led the race𒁃 last yeaꦓr, at and it is not going to be easy.

“They were quickest on Friday and yes we beat them and just eked them out in performance but that circuit ဣis more of a medium and low speed circuit so it shou⛦ld go well for them.

“It will be a closer batꦉtle, but I🌳’m excited to get out there. I love driving that track.”
