This was partly because the Mercedes MGP W02 generally had nobody to compete with, with Red Bull, McLaren and Ferrari having superior cars and other teams being more slow-paced than MGP W02.
Isto debeuse en parte a que o Mercedes MGP W02 en xeral non tiña ningún competidor, Red Bull, McLaren e Ferrari eran coches superiores e os outros equipos tiñan un ritmo máis lento que o MGP W02.
