Toto Wolff warns “not to draw too many conclusions” from Monaco F1 upgrade
After the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix wa👍s cancelled due to intense flooding, 🌱Mercedes will introduce their highly-anticipated upgrade in Monaco.
Finding additional lap time isn’t the only focus for the team, with the goal of creating a “more stable and predictable 🧸platform” central to their new update.
Teams don’t typically introduce significant new parts for Monaco given its uni⛄que circuit layout.
Speaking ahead of the weekend, Wolff downplayed the immediate impact 𒉰of the upd🐼ate.
“The revised calendar means tha൲t Monaco is now the starting point of the European leg of the season,” Wolff said. “It is a unique event but will still provide an opportunity to learn about the upgrades to W14 - but we also need to be careful not to draw too many conclusions from this one event.
“We aღre introducing the first step in a new development direction.
"It won't be a silver bullet; from my experience, they do not exist i🤪n our sport. We hope that iꦇt gives the drivers a more stable and predictable platform. Then we can build on that in the weeks and months ahead.
"F1 is tough competition and a meritocracy. We are not where we want to be but there's no sense of entitlement. It's just 🧸about hard work to get us to the front.”
