Mercedes remain second in the constructors’ championship following Red Bull’s failure to score a point in Bahrain. However, their highest-positioned driver—fourth-placed George Russell—is already 23 points off leader Leclerc, with Hamilton another six points behind.
The first rest week of the season gives Mercedes a chance to regather and tinker before resuming in the Australian Grand Prix on April 10. Hamilton has had only moderate success in Melbourne and won twice in 13 attempts, while Russell finished 16th in his only Australian appearance when the race was last staged in 2019.
