Lewis Hamilton's boss Toto Wolff tells Mercedes to 'trust the process' as they try to catch Red Bull

TOTO WOLFF has promised to "trust the process" as his Mercedes team try to turn their fortunes around.

Mercedes have watched Red Bull dominate the start to the Formula One season with Wolff admitting the team have again made mistakes with this year's car design.

He has since promised to send the team back to the drawing board with a view to getting back to the top-step of the podium.

Wolff said: "It's been difficult so far. With the way we developed the car, we were hopeful of sorting out our issues from last year.

"We realised we weren't coming out of the blocks where we expected to be. Having said that, we don't feel any sense of entitlement.

"This is the toughest competition in the world, and it wouldn't be such a fantastic challenge if it was easy.

"Three races into the season, we saw that one team is setting the benchmark now.

"But I believe 100 per cent in our organisation, because our perspective is not always on a single race weekend, not even a single season.

"It's trying to build our capability so we are successful over multiple years, while recognising the fact you are never going to win every single season, because no sports team has ever done it.

"We need to have a steeper development curve than Red Bull and fundamentally, we want to compete for race wins.
