Toto Wolff believes Mercedes’ main challenge for this weekend’s F1 Singapore Grand P💧rix will be “controlling tyrꦓe temperatures” following an inconsistent level of performance last time out in Azerbaijan.

Mercedes showed great pace in the second half of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix on Sunday, with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell baff🃏led by the disparity in p💎erformance between the two compounds.

Russell’s pace was impressive on the hard tyrཧe - with it less susceptible to overheating.

It’s likely going to be a 🧔similar challenge at the Marina Bay Street Circuit due to warm temperature🦹s and the intense nature of the grand prix.

Looking ahead to the weekend, Wolff said: “We head straight to Singapore for the second race in this double header♋. Although a street circuit like Baku, Marina Bay is a different challenge.

“Physically, it is incredibly demanding on both the drivers and team members. The heat and humidi💯ty play a big role in that but so does theꩵ track itself.

“It is bumpy in places, contains a mixture of both low and high speed corners, and the walls are waiting to catch ꧂you out.”

Since the summer break, Merce𒅌des have struggled to refind t𒉰heir form.

Before Zandvoort, Mercedes had won three of the last four races, becoming F1’s informꦺ team.

But since then, they’ve struggled as Ferrari’s moved back ahead in the pecking order🅷.

“After a mixed weekend in Azerbaijan, we will take the learnings from Baku and aim for an improved perfor༺mance in Singapore,” Wolff added.

“At times, our pace was strong but we couldn't🔴 deliver that consistently. Our main challenge was controlling tyre temperatu💎res and something we know we need to improve upon.

“It is encouraging that, when🧔 we geꦕt the car working, we have the pace to be competitive.

“Whilst we came away with a podium though, we know that it was fortuit🦩ous and we were P5 on merit.”
