Toto Wolff wary of Red Bull threat in Hungary

Mercedes motorsport chief Toto Wolff has admitted that Mercedes will have to be "flawless" if they are to beat Red Bull Racing at this weekend's Hungarian Grand Prix.

The Hungaroring is the only track which Mercedes has yet to win at since the 1.6 litre V6 hybrid formula was introduced in 2014, and Wolff believes that this weekend will again be tough for the Anglo-German squad.

"This circuit has not been kind to us over the past two years and it plays to the strengths of our rivals," said Wolff. "The Red Bull, for example, is a car that functions well where high drag isn't penalised as much as at other types of circuit."

"So, in wet conditions and at low-speed circuits such as the Hungaroring, they are a major threat," he continued. "We will need to be flawless to come out on top at this track."
