Mercedes Formula 1 boss Toto Wolff insists his team cannot afford to become complacent amid a d💛ominant start to the 2020 season.

After picking up the first three victories on offer this year with relative ease, Mercedes has💛 already been tipped as being potential runaway winners en route to a seventh straight world championship double.

Lewis Hamilton leads teammate Valtteri Bottas by fiv🍌e points in the drivers’ standings, with the closest non-Mercedes driver, Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, already 30 points adrift. Meanwhile, in the constructors’ championship, the German manufacturer holds a whopping 66-point advantage over Red Bull.

And Mercedes is expected to be♋ the team to beat once again at the upcoming triple-header, which begins with back-to-back ra🃏ces at Silverstone, before F1 travels to Barcelona for the Spanish Grand Prix.

“I'm not s💞ure I'm seeing the competition fall apart,” Wolff stressed following Mercedes’ latest victory aꦓt the Styrian Grand Prix.

“You can see that Red Bull was struggling all through the weekend and then they had a pretty decent race car, a car thaಌt didn't look like it could start and the mechanics did a really awesome job on the car there.

“The gaps are nothing. If you look at the drive💙r points’ standing, it's 30 points that after three races we have with Lewis to Max. So you have one DNF and all the gap is gone, so we just need to keep going.

“We must🌊n't be carried away with thinking we are the greatest, because♓ then you start quickly losing.”

With the 2020 calendar still♛ yet to be finalised and considering the unprecedented nature of the current campaign, Wolff was keen to stress that it is far too early into the season to start getting comfortable.

“I think it's important to pick up ev꧒ery point and I've always said that every session needs to be optimised, and every 𓆏race weekend needs to be optimised to collect points,” he explained.

“And in a way, the achievement of the team scoring three victories out of three races i𓄧s something we can be proud of.

“We have solved the problems that we had in Spie𓆏lberg 1, and we need to be happy with ไhow it panned out so far. But the gaps are never big enough in order to get comfortable and we need to continue to work.

“Th🧸ere's another three races that will be very important and 🐓hopefully good ones for us, but I'm relieved once it's done – and we haven’t even done 20% of the championship yet, so we have to continue to push.”
