KUALA LUMPUR, March 25 — From the Barcelona shakedown to the Bahrain pre-season tests, the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One (F1) Team showed promising signs, translating preparation into a dominant one-two finish at the opening race of the 2026 season in Albert Park Circuit, Melbourne and carrying that momentum into the subsequent race in Shanghai, China

The Silver Arrows was reportedly racking up more mileage, around 1,200 laps than other rivals during the testing in Barcelona in January and Bahrain last month.
