George Russell secured a second podium finish of the season after coming third in Catalonia, while Lewis Hamilton produced a stunning drive to finish sixth after an opening-lap puncture left him at the back of the pack.That was the culmination of a positive weekend in Barcelona, with Mercedes showing in qualifying and in practice sessions that they have the ability to compete at the front of the grid with Red Bull and Ferrari. While there were still some significant pace differences with the two title-chasers, further upgrades are set to be utilised ahead of the next round in Monte Carlo.Mercedes' trackside engineering director Andrew Shovlin revealed after the race in Barcelona that more upgrades are on the cards, saying: “The most encouraging thing is the improvement in pace that we have seen this weekend; a lot of hard work has gone into understanding the issues and bringing parts to the track for this race.“We can now see a route to develop our way out of this and back into a position where we can fight for pole and wins.

Toto Wolff declared his team looked like they had a 'championship-winning car' in Barcelona after Lewis Hamilton's remarkable drive following opening-lap catastrophe.A collision with Haas driver Kevin Magnusson saw Hamilton forced into an early pit change and at the back of the grid, with the seven-time world champion even suggesting that he should retire from the race in order to save the engine - but his team disagreed and said a points finish was achievable.That proved to be correct, with Hamilton finishing fifth in a race that was full of drama and, while he was once again behind teammate George Russell, who secured a second podium finish of the season, it was a significant improvement to previous races.So much so, in fact, that Wolff believes Hamilton's drive in Barcelona was reminiscent of some of his best during his title-winning campaigns and feels that Mercedes now have a car that is able to compete with the likes of Red Bull and Ferrari.“The dynamic between the driver and team is something that is so important that it’s clear. Having an accident at the early stage of the race and you’re saying to yourself, ‘not again’ and you’re not featuring because I think he was 38 seconds or so behind the last cars after his stop and that’s basically game over," he said after the race.“But then him going and then showing this very good pace was important, not only for his morale, but also our morale.

Toto Wolff has fired a warning to rivals Ferrari and Red Bull following the team's signs of revival in Barcelona ahead of Sunday's Grand Prix.The Silver Arrows showed signs of progress in three practice sessions and, unlike last time out in Miami, were able to continue that form into qualifying as George Russell came in fourth to secure the team's highest finish in qualifying this season. While the two Mercedes weren't quite able to compete for a spot on the front row with Ferrari and Red Bull, with Lewis Hamilton coming in sixth and behind his teammate, it could be the start of an upwards trajectory for the defending constructors' champions.With Russell on the second row alongside Carlos Sainz and ahead of Sergio Perez, Mercedes are certainly in the picture for Barcelona, though it's a track notorious for being difficult to overtake on, and Wolff has fired a warning to his rivals.He said: "My belief is we have a race car more than a qualifying car.
