Mercedes to bring new aero update to Japanese GP!

Mercedes will have a brand new aero upgrade fitted to their car at the Japanese Grand Prix as they look to wrestle back the initiative from Ferrari, who have been the best car recently.

Although Mercedes brought home a 1-2 from the Russian Grand Prix, it was more gifted to them than anything else, as Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas took advantage of the virtual safety car to get in front of Ferrari's Charles Leclerc, who had taken pole position the previous day.

Since the summer break, Ferrari have been the team in the driving seat, winning three of the four races, with the exception of last weekend's event in Sochi, due to a big aero upgrade that came during the summer break.

But now, Mercedes have their own aero package that they will bring to Japan, in the hopes of getting back on par with the Italian team.
