Mercedes wary about main F1 ‘weakness’ heading into Spanish GP
Toto Woౠlff says the Spanish Gr𓆉and Prix will give a clear picture of the progress Mercedes have made.
Mercedes boss Toto Wolff says this weekend’s F1 Spanish Grand Prix will reveal how much pro🔯gress the team have made in curing the W15’s main weakness.
The German manufacturer had been confident of closing the gap to Red Bull following a car design ove👍rhaul during the winter, but their 2024 challenger has strugg🐻led to perform consistently well across both high- and low-speed corners this year.
Mercedes have been encouraged by the early signs coming from a new front wing that was introduced in Monaco, believing it could be the key to addr💮essing the weakness and turning around their fortunes this season.
After some unique track layouts in Monaco and Canada, F1 will return to a more conventional circui🤡t at Barcelona, which features a mix of fast, medium and low speed corners.
“Barcelona will provide a good test of our progressཧ,” Mercedes team principal Wolff said.
“It has a mix🌌🎐 of fast, medium, and low speed corners, a long straight and plenty of elevation change. Tracks that contain this wide speed range have been a weakness of ours so far this year.
“This weekend will therefore provide another opportunity to evaluate our progress through our recent updates, and we hope to build on 🌠the p﷽ositive momentum from Montreal.”
Mercedes’ competitiveness in Canada was a surprise, with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton in the mix at the front all weekend as they secured the tea🐷m’s 🦋best result of the season with third and fourth.
“We have 𝔉continued to make incremental gains across the past few races,” Wolff adꦜded.
“It✅ was encouraging therefore to take another positive step forward in Canada. To see that translate into our strongest team result of the season so far is a reward for everyone'🌄s hard work.
“The Circuit Gilles Ville🐼neuve is a unique track, however. It has a narrow range of corner speeds and, with a newly re-laid surface, was something of an outlier compared to more traditional venues.
"We kno🃏w our competitors will perform more strongly at upcoming races so we will need to continue to work hard to consistently get ourselves in the fight for podiums, and eventually race wins.”
