Mercedes worried about Monaco GP

They might have dominated the Spanish Grand Prix a week ago but Mercedes is expecting an almost impossible task when they hit the streets of Monaco on Thursday. Over the last few seasons, the Silver Arrows have tended to struggle on the street circuit.

Team boss Toto Wolff insisted that the track doesn't suit their W09 and that their rivals are the ones to watch in Monte Carlo.

"(We are) Bloody worried," he said. "We have seen in the last years that there were some tracks which suited us well and some we were not perfect for.

"It's very difficult to undo the DNA of a car and Monaco, Singapore and Budapest were all tracks where we underperformed a lot last year.

 "It's a great challenge. Why our car doesn't like to be quick around the corners of Monaco, we haven't found out yet.

"Monaco is going to be a serious challenge. Red Bull are going to be rapid and very hard to beat.

"The Red Bulls are particularly good and able to add more downforce, I think the Ferraris have a little bit more downforce as well so it will be really interesting to see if we can match them

"We know it's probably going to be a difficult weekend. We know the others could be quicker than us. Whatever we are faced with, we'll take it.
