Valtteri Bottas finished first in the season opener. Lewis Hamilton, on the other hand, bagged a P1 finish at the Styrian Grand Prix. The race in Styria marked a particularly successful race for the Silver Arrows, as they found both their drivers sharing the podium.

Ross Brawn, the Formula One Managing Director lauded the Mercedes team for their performance and dedication.

Their excellence can be attributed to their attention to detail, which is evident in the way they treat even the most minor technical error or glitch. A practice that never ceases to impress Brawn.
