The people at Brixworth simply did an excellent job with the engine.
“Everyone suspected we were doing that anyway, and to be honest, it was pretty extraordinary in the context of Formula 1 history.
“I don’t know why people are making such a secret of it now,” he said. “That went on for quite a few races during the season,” Lowe added. “In 2014, the situation was such that we could determine how much head-start we needed on any given day. “I don’t think any other team ever had such a big lead,” he told. Paddy Lowe, however, is very clear about admitting that Mercedes has indeed been just as dominant in the past as Red Bull is today. “We had those years where we were as strong but in this sport, even if it’s not great for the show that the same guys win all the time, it is because they have done a good job and we have not,” said Wolff. Hamilton has said similar things in the past weeks, although team boss Toto Wolff has been more careful to insist that he accepts Red Bull’s new dominance. “Better than any Mercedes of the last ten years.” “The Red Bull is the best racing car I’ve ever seen,” he is quoted as saying by Auto Motor und Sport. That is the view of Paddy Lowe, a top engineering executive at the German team for much of the Lewis Hamilton era of dominance until he left Mercedes in 2017.īut George Russell, who replaced Valtteri Bottas to become Hamilton’s new teammate last year, thinks Red Bull’s current dominance dwarfs anything Mercedes was able to achieve.
