After a dismal weekend in Monte Carlo, Mercedes seemed off to a slow start at the 2025 F1 Spanish GP with drivers George Russell and Kimi Antonelli failing to keep up with the likes of McLaren, Ferrari and Red Bull’s Max Verstappen in Free Practice 1. While their performance was undoubtably due to their different approach to FP1, with the team opting against running the soft tyres, Russell’s P11 and Antonelli’s P18, ironically the positions that they were classified at the end of the race in Monaco, seemed unencouraging, especially with McLaren’s Lando Norris more than a second faster. However,…
