Video: The fear Mercedes is playing with its Formula 1 rivals
Lewis Hamilton's late fastest lap runs on old tyres during the British and French Grands Prix raises the prospect that Mercedes has not fully demonstrated its underlying speed in 2019
Edd Straw and Ben Anderson join Glenn Freeman to discuss the factors that have led to the late Mercedes race pace and whether there is more to come from its package or if its fastest lap gap to its rivals is exaggerated.
They also discuss whether the picture is changing at the front of the field with the top three teams split by two tenths in qualifying at Silverstone, and where Red Bull and Ferrari stack up against Mercedes currently.
