Mercedes Trackside Engineering Director Andrew Shovlin has mentioned that it would be difficult for Mercedes to perform in Hungary as they did in Silverstone. Shovlin mentioned the team expects Red Bull to have a strong outing in Hungary.
“[Silverstone] is one of our best tracks, so it would be naïve for us to think we can go [to Hungary] and expect to carry this performance in,” said Shovlin.

“Red Bull are going to be good at a high-downforce circuit,” he added. “Frankly, they’re good at every circuit at the moment and they’re going to be a bit bruised after the experience [in the British Grand Prix], so I’m sure they’re going to come back really strong,” said Shovlin.
Can Red Bull bounce back in Hungary? Let us know.
