Martin Brundle compared Mercedes to Liverpool

Former F1 driver and current Sky Sports commentator Martin Brundle compared Mercedes’ current imperfections to that of English soccer team Liverpool as the two giants of their respective sports seek to restore a sense of lost authority.

Mercedes went through testing in Bahrain with some question marks as their new car’s pace and balance are not as expected, despite Lewis Hamilton clocking the second-fastest time on the final day.

“Clearly they still have to finesse it”

“It’s odd isn’t it right now, look at Liverpool for example,” Brundle said on Sky Sports’ The F1 Show on Monday.. “Little nuances, where you change the personnel, and there’s maybe a lack of confidence. That’s what I’m seeing at Mercedes at the moment.”.
