Jolyon Palmer has backed the Mercedes drivers to be up there in France. F1
“Austria wasn’t expected to be as strong, and so it wasn’t, but that was largely due to a rare brace of driver errors from Hamilton and Russell in qualifying.
“The French Grand Prix up next is one of the smoothest circuits, made up of predominantly medium and high-speed corners. While the W13 has looked strong in race trim, Palmer pointed out the team have yet to trouble Red Bull and Ferrari when it comes to qualifying so far this year – with the top two teams having often fought among themselves for pole position week to week.
