Mercedes says Ferrari is simply faster in Bahrain

Toto Wolff says Ferrari's pace in Bahrain vindicates his pre-season claim that Mercedes will struggle to win another title in 2018. Prior to Melbourne, where Mercedes' new car proved to be the fastest in the field, boss Wolff had claimed Ferrari and Red Bull would be tough challengers: "I always said that Ferrari, Red Bull and us are in a tight group. Even tighter than last year," he said in Bahrain.

Wolff was speaking just after qualifying, where the Ferraris qualified 1 and 2 while Lewis Hamilton, with a grid penalty, will start the race from just ninth. The Austrain said Mercedes cannot even make the excuse that its car is - like last year's - a bit of a "diva".

"The drivers feel comfortable in the car," he said. "We were just not fast enough." Hamilton agreed: "The Ferraris were faster than us on all tyre types in the long runs on Friday. They just have the better car here."

He also said the 'party mode' argument is now dead, insisting that Ferrari is "equal to us" in terms of engine power. But Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo is not so sure.

"I was surprised. I thought the Mercedes would be faster in qualifying," he said. "It seems that this weekend they're not up to their usual standard. Maybe they've decided not to use the usual qualifying mode to divert attention from this topic."

Horner: says mercedes underperformed on saturday which is why they look closer this week. Asked if there's weakness in Ferrari (makes a joke about the smoke) , then says it looks like a fuel saving track( talking about ferrari's weakness tonight). Brundle points out that, thats a fuel cryptic clue

It will be tough for Ham to pass the cars in front aggressively, he will ruin his tires and he expects the softs to last at least 35+ laps.

mwk360

Lets hope NO SC and NO VSC to save hamilton and Max, we need a supreme start, seb ad kimi need to be careful in T1 and it could be a very good day :)

Sky said from what they told it will be difficult for the starters on SS to 1stop and it could be better to two stop, while the guys starting on soft will 1 stop as it should help them more especially if there's sc

Naw...this is a race that you should feel confident of a 1-2. Ferrari has the bulge here they just need to press it home.

I'm confident of a Ferrari 1-2 today, especially if Seb keeps the lead through the first turn and Kimi slots into second.

Things that could get in the way of that:

Mechanical issues with either or both cars.
Pit stop problems w/ either or both cars.
VSC or SC.

Things I'm not worried about:

Tire wear on the Ferrari's.
Being undercut in the pit stops if we are out front...undercuts only work if the faster cars are behind and the two fastest cars here are starting up front.

Niki Lauda tells Austrian TV that Mercedes will split strategies for this race, with Bottas scheduled for two stops and Hamilton - who will start on a harder tyre than the other frontrunners - trying to make the flag on one stop.

Danny Ric was right, merc turned off party mode to cool the topic. If they would have killed the field again talks would start about banning it. Unbelievable.

Kimi pushes Bottas thats the thing.He is on similar pace with Seb a tenth or two down only.

Mercs with mediums are just too fast

LivingHitokiri

We need to hope those SS tires in the last laps gonna do magic.

We probably did that on first stint, fuel shouldnt be a problem especially with Virtual safety car.
