The Mercedes "TyreGate" Story So Far

Jules Bianchi 'In Australia I was 90 - 95% ready...'

Jules Bianchi reckons it will not be until the Spanish Grand Prix that he is at 100%. After already finishing a strong 13th in Malaysia, his first season in F1 has started very well. Even after only having one and a half days of testing with Marussia (as Luiz Razia did not receive the required funding in time) Bianchi says theres more to come.

Bianchi states 'In Spain, we will be at 100 per cent, when everything will come together and we bring some new pieces to the car.

Bianchi added that there is only around a tenth of a second that he has still to find.

'My driving is already good but I need to work on it and maybe I will find one-tenth on my side, which would be good.. Its just confident in the car as we didn't run much (pre season)'

Bianchi is confident that the gap to the midfield is closing and currently smaller than ever.

"I'm optimistic because every time we bring something, it has always gone better," said Bianchi.

"Now we have to see when we will bring the new parts to the car and if it will give us the possibility to close the gap to the midfield.

"It's an encouraging start."
