George Russell believes that Mercedes will be the team to beat again this year. The reigning champions turned up to testing with a new DAS system and this is part of the reason for Russell predicting more silver arrow dominance. 

“I think the DAS system is only the tip of the iceberg for Mercedes. I was part of the team for a long time and I saw what they were doing before I went to Williams,” Russell told Sky F1.

“It's great to see what those guys are doing. And there are many more things they are doing that are similar to DAS, we just can't see it with the naked eye.

"When I saw the DAS system, I thought, 'wow, they kind of embarrass us a bit like that.' I also think Mercedes will be at the top again this year." 

Mercedes are seemingly going to be the team to beat again this season and the fact that they have come into the new season with a new system shows their mentality to stay on top.
