Mercedes team principal Ross Brawn has answered critics suggesting his team may already be out of the hunt for the 2010 world championship.
On Wednesday Mark Webber said this season's title fight was now between Red Bull, Ferrari and McLaren, which have tended to outpace Mercedes in the early rounds. But even though star-driver Michael Schumacher's performances have disappointed some, his team-mate Nico Rosberg is just four points off championship leader Felipe Massa.
Brawn is confident his team's challenge is far from over and believes the new scoring system has the potential to swing the course of the championship in just one race.
"The title fight is far from decided. With the new scoring system, just one race weekend can have a dramatic impact on the [championship] standings," he told Auto Motor und Sport. "Nico is extremely fast and has run very good races, especially in Malaysia.
"But with every weekend Michael is gaining more and more momentum. Both will get good results when we give them a car that matches their talents. Then they will be right at the front."
Mercedes is believed to have a major upgrade planned for the Spanish Grand Prix that could take the form of a 'B'-spec car.
