Martin Brundle spoke with Toto Wolff on Thursday morning and according to the Sky Sports Formula 1 commentator, the Mercedes team boss doesn't seem very confident (yet) with the W13. Brundle indicates that Wolff was eager to hear from him what the competitors' cars look like.

"Before we came here, we had a conversation with Toto. Interestingly, he asked [us] what the other cars looked like," Brundle stated for his employer's cameras. The Austrian top man came across as a bit hesitant. "It was almost like he was worried, but I don't think anyone there is super confident that they've nailed it."

Ferrari impressive

Ferrari, meanwhile, seems to be the team to beat. Both in Barcelona and Bahrain, Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz are coming along very well. Under all circumstances, the Maranello-based racing stable seems to have a stable car. Brundle thinks that Mercedes will certainly have to take Ferrari into account this season.

Christian Horner shares that expectation. In Thursday's press conference he stated, "The car that is currently the best on the track is the Ferrari."
