Toto Wolff receives huge vote of confidence from George Russell as Mercedes plot upgrades

Wolff’s team teased developments to their W14 as early as next weekend’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix as they bid to hunt down the Red Bulls.
The team principal has now been handed a glowing review by Russell as the F1 ‘spring break’ gets set to conclude.
“He’s been an integral part of⛦ 𝕴my career,” Russell said to Square Mile.
“Highly intelligent, a charismatic bloke, he’s been a huge part of ꩲthe success of the team and is going to be a huge part of the return of Mercedes after what’s been a difficult season.
“A huge motivator, an unbelievable leader꧙, he gives everybody his time.
“It doesn’t matter if they are a chief aerodynamicist or working on the 🌸shop flo🌃or, he respects everybody.
“I think that’s why he still has such a team around him and so ಌmuch trust. I feel fortunate to work with such a great guy.”

It had previously been thought that Mercedes might have to wait until the 🌃Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix at the end of May to bring ꧋upgrades but Wolff has offered a new clue.
"We will consistently be bringing upgrades to the car over the next few races, which is something to look forward to,” Wolff said in a Q&A published on Mercedes’ web﷽site.༒
“But there is no such thing as a magic bullet that transforms the car, and it's about being realistic with yo𒁏ur expectations. Hopefully we will see a steady improvement.”
However, Russell returns to F1 knowing a 💙grid penalty looms later this year.
His engine, wh♛ich was on fire and caused his retirement from the F1 Australian Grand Prix, is not salvageable according to German publication .
Iꦕt means he will use a second V6 engine in Baku next weekend, with only three permitted in the whole of ☂2023.
