Formula 1’s Latest Rumours and Talk: Mercedes’ Toto Wolff, Manor and More

Mercedes may have won the opening two races of 2016, but the Silver Arrows' start to the new Formula One season has not been without problems.

Lewis Hamilton and team-mate Nico Rosberg are as formidable as ever in qualifying conditions, and the team—having won two consecutive drivers' and constructors' world championships—are now sufficiently battle-hardened to salvage victory from the jaws of defeat, but Mercedes are carrying an obvious weakness.

In Australia and Bahrain, Hamilton and Rosberg suffered substandard getaways from the start line, forcing the three-time world champion to switch to damage-limitation mode in the early stages of each race. 

And team boss Toto Wolff has revealed the steps Mercedes are taking to resolve those issues as soon as possible.

As his team struggle with grand prix starts, Wolff's decision to provide Manor with Mercedes engines has allowed the perennial backmarkers to make a fresh start in 2016, with the team producing the most impressive performance in their history in the Bahrain Grand Prix.

Stephen Fitzpatrick, the team owner, has played an instrumental role in Manor's revival, and he has explained why there is more to come from his team and revealed why he decided to rescue the outfit at the beginning of 2015.

Daniil Kvyat mounted a revival of sorts in Bahrain by surging from 15th on the grid to seventh at the chequered flag, with Red Bull team principal Christian Horner claiming the Russian was in need of a strong performance after a troubled start to 2016.

Meanwhile, Mercedes technical boss Paddy Lowe has identified the team with the weakest engine on the 2016 grid, and closing our latest roundup is the FIA's Charlie Whiting, who has defended the proposed 2017 regulation changes.
