Mercedes on target for Malaysia title

Mercedes look set to wrap up their third consecutive constructors' world championship this weekend in Malaysia despite having five races still to go afterwards.

The dominant German team has a huge 222 point gap over second-placed Red Bull.


When asked about the team's remarkable achievement for the third year in a row, technical boss Paddy Lowe answered: "We have built a car that works well no matter the circuit."

"In that way, it is not only power that matters, but power and efficiency," he told the German newspaper Bild.

However, he refused to pick a winner from the team's two drivers, who are currently separated by just 8 points at the top of the drivers standings.

"It is impossible to predict," he said. "I really don't know."
