In the first three races of the season, although the two cars of mercedes-Benz have been able to complete consecutive races and become the only team among 10 teams to have points in both cars in the first three races, Russell is currently in second place in the drivers' standings, and Maypen is also temporarily ahead of Red Bull, second only to Ferrari in the team's standings, but such results can not hide the serious lack of competitiveness of The W13 cars in Meben this season. As the master of the king who has dominated the F1 circuit for the past 8 years, there are obvious signs of falling behind.
Judging from the current performance of the Mayben car, the W13 car does have many problems, and the team has not found an effective solution. Especially in terms of power units, Mei Ben's car has a visible gap compared to Ferrari and Red Bull. It is not fast to run, which has become the fatal hard wound of the current Meiben team.
Seeing his own two cars, the struggle performance in the first three races, The leader of the Meiben team Wolff, in a recent interview with the media, also admitted the current situation of the team's current lack of running, and frankly said that the possibility of Meiben defending the championship of the construction team this season is only 20%.
Speaking about the gap with Ferrari and Red Bull, Wolfe reluctantly admitted: "I think we are at a disadvantage, if we look at it from a mathematical and probability point of view, I would probably say that the probability of defending the title is 20%." Although the leader of the Mayben team then said that anything could happen in F1 racing, if other teams withdrew, or if Mayben found a way to improve their speed, then the team would regain competitiveness and be able to attack the championship. But a cruel reality lies in front of the top brass of Wolff and Meiben teams, that is, Meiben's W13 car, in terms of lap speed, almost as many as 0.9 seconds behind the "NiuMa" two strong.
You must know that in F1, which is a one-thousandth of a second to decide the winner, the lap performance is close to 1 second behind the leading group's car, and the gap is too huge. It is no wonder that Mei Ben's two drivers, Hamilton and Russell, have lost confidence in the car in their hands after running the first three races of the season.
Wolff, who is the backbone of the team leader, also acknowledged the gap today in the interview, and bluntly said that the possibility of defending the title is only 20%. From the top brass of The May Ben to the lack of confidence of its own drivers, to the disappointing performance of the W13 car on the track, this season has indeed been too difficult for this former F1 king. With Mei Ben's weakness, the pattern of F1 may usher in a change!
