After being outperformed by 👍McLaren at the British Grand Prix, Wolff admitted that Mercedes will have no other option than switching their full focus on to next year’s🦂 challenger soon.

Speaking after Hamilton topped final practice at the Hungarian Grand Prix, Wolff ജconfirmed that Mercedes are “slowly but surely transitioning into next year”.꧑ 

"To a very large degree, we are already on next year’s car,” Wolff toꦐld Sky.&nb🎉sp;

“But there is still a lot to ♋learn. We still don’t know the ins and outs. Slowly but surely we are transitioning into next year.”

Ahead of the weekend, Hamilton told media including ltxcn.top in Hungary that there is168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: "no negotiation left" to do. 

Although a contract extension has n༒ot been announced for the 38-year-old, whose current deal expires at the end of the season, it is considered a foregone conclusion by both parties. 

Wolff insisted that the contract is&𒀰nbsp;“emotionally” finalised despite not yet being signed off. 

“The state is we haven’t signed it, ﷽but emotiona𒈔lly we have done it,” he explained. 

Hamilton admitted his car felt “at its worst” after a difficul🎉t Friday but the seven-time world champion laid down a m💟arker as he set the pace ahead of the Red Bulls in FP3.

The Hungaroring is one of Hamilton’s best tracks, with the seven-time world champion racking up eight pole positions and eight𒊎 victories at the venue, includ꧋ing his first win for Mercedes in 2013. 

“Lewis here, at one of the tracks he really likes, he’s just able to add another two or three 🦹⛦tenths,” Wolff said. 

“We changed q✃u🌱ite a bit but you see the comparison on the medium. 

“The Red Bulls are abℱle to ꦿpull out a first lap that's a second quicker than everyone else, but on the softs, the pace wasn't there and for us it's the opposite.

"George was saying the car was completely transformed the moment we put it on the 𓄧soft with the same setuꦍp. I think the difference was more than a second. 

“We don't think you can run it in the race. But we will see🌟 tomorrow, maybe we will do something different.”
