Lowe: ‘Mercedes must improve’

Paddy Lowe has challenged Mercedes to get even better this season and dominate the championship once again.

The German team have won the drivers and constructors titles in the last two seasons, and enter 2016 as the hot favourites to do so once again.

Ferrari is expected to challenge this season, but executive director Lowe wants his team to obliterate the field once again.

“After a highly successful season all round in 2015, our priority has been to identify the areas in which we were weakest and to try to improve on those," he said.

"Our objective is excellence in all areas and, while we had some fantastic results last year, there are many areas in which we can still be much better.

"That's the kind of culture we try to instil throughout the whole organisation - one of constantly striving to reach something better.

"We had a number of races that didn't go to plan in 2015 - Singapore in particular - so there were a lot of things that needed improving for 2016.

"We are seeking optimisation absolutely everywhere."
