According to Paul Di Resta Mercedes and Red Bull should concentrate on their own performance in the last two races of the season. The gap in the championship is small and the teams should not get carried away.

"I don't think Max will be coming into this weekend thinking any different [regarding possible championship win]. I think what you've got to do is just try to win the race. I think that's what both teams have got to do. Collectively, get everyone together and hope they're not too tired," Di Resta told Sky Sports.

Both teams were on a roll

The teams had a short break after the triple header. This weekend Mercedes and Red Bull battle it out at the new Jeddah circuit, so it remains exciting who will have the upper hand in unfamiliar territory. According to the analyst, the teams need to focus on themselves above all.

"Concentrate on their own performance and don't get carried away. They are both great teams with great cars. Mercedes are on a roll, but before that Red Bull were on a roll. They were excellent in Mexico, probably the most dominant of the year and won in Austin. And like Lewis said, don't underestimate anything," Di Resta says.
