Mercedes struggles with pace through high-speed corners at Dutch GP

In the Formula 1 Dutch Grand Prix held at Zandvoort, Mercedes trackside engineering director Andrew Shovlin expressed concern over the team's performance in high-speed corners, describing it as 'rubbish.' Despite a strong start to the weekend with George Russell securing pole and winning the sprint race, Mercedes faced difficulties during the main event, finishing behind McLaren’s Lando Norris. The team clocked their second-highest points score of the season at 46 points, with Kimi Antonelli finishing ahead of Russell in the race. Shovlin noted inconsistencies across drivers and stints, indicating a need for further analysis on the car's performance, particularly in turns 7, 8, and 9. The team plans to investigate these issues in the coming days.
