“I don’t know, because we were still on average a second behind Red Bull and Ferrari in the race then,” Russell said when asked if Mercedes had taken a step forward after the Saudi Arabian GP.
“So we are making baby steps at the moment, we need to make some bigger leaps, I am sure we can do that.
“Timeline I don’t know, at the end of the day the others are continuing to improve as well, so we are improving, they are improving, we just need to do it at a faster rate.”
Ferrari (78 points) are placed at the top of the Constructors' Championship standings and they are followed by Mercedes (38 points) and Red Bull Racing-RBPT (37 points) respectively.
