Ex-Williams and Ferrari team manager Peter Windsor believes Mercedes' strong pace against Aston Martin late in the Saudi Arabian GP will have caused 'confusion' for the team. F1 mercedesf1
“Fernando, when he’s trying to get a five-second gap over George, is doing 33.1, 33.0, 32.9, 32.8, but George is doing 32.9, 32.9, 32.9, 32.9.
“So in that situation in the race, with George on the absolute limit and Fernando flat out as well, [Aston Martin] weren’t actually that much quicker than Mercedes.“And that will give Mercedes a lot of – not confidence, we can’t even use the C-word with Mercedes at the moment – but probably ‘C’ for ‘confusion’ actually.
“Because having had Toto and everybody else ad nauseum saying, ‘they’ve got to change the philosophy of the car, they’ve got to do a Gerard Ducarouge-type 60-day new car’, now there’s George actually going just about as quick as Fernando Alonso in race conditions over quite a long period of time.
“But when Max did the pass on Lewis it was so perfunctory and it was so simple that you just thought, ‘wow, this is a Sunday afternoon drive’. “Of course it wasn’t, and this was Lewis Hamilton that he was outbraking, but Max just made it look so easy – which is the epitome of the art.”
