Toto Wolff wary of Mercedes “setbacks” despite “trajectory going up” after Monaco
✅Totܫo Wolff looks ahead to the rest of the season - and what Mercedes can expect from their upgrades.
Toto Wolff has warned that Mercedes could face a number of🌳 “setbacks” as they look to close the ♒gap to the top three teams.
Mercedes enjoyed arguably their strongest weekend of the year last time out in Monaco as 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell qualified and finished in fifth.
Russell qualified just under 0.3s off pole position, and for the first time this year, it appea💞red that the balance of the Mercedes W15 was in a better place.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton showed great pace across the three practice sessions before struggliꦫng in qualifying.
Reflecting on Mercedes’ Monaco weekend, Wolff believes it shows that they are “going in the right direction”ꦓ.
“Yeah, I think we were more or less different, b🃏ut I think we were that close also in qualifying when you look at the gaps… probably much closer in the race,” Wolff said. “But at the end… I think overall the trajectory is going in the right direction. I think we’ve understood where the balance of the car need🐬s to be.
“We’ve been bringing bits and pieces in order to enha⛦nce that and as I said yesterday saw the trajectory going up, but it’s maybe like a shell, right? So it’s going to be up and down, better tracks, worse tracks, so we’re absolutely happy with the approach.
“So the thing is that you just got to chip away performance by performance. McL🐼aren did a sensational step last year from one race to the other. They kept adding performance on a concept that fu🐈nctioned. Ferrari has been doing it step by step by step and we did it very well last year.
“This is where I see ourselves. And that’s somet꧒hing that we have absolutely as an objective in the short term as well.”
Wolff vowed that Mercedes will continue to upgrade 🍸their car in the upcoming rounds - but conceded💮 there could be “setbacks” for the team.
“I🌳 think what we’re doing now is probably solving that,” he added. “I don’t think that the duvet is large enough to cover feet and head at that stage. But we’re getting there. And Montreal again is a little bit of an outlier for track. We’re♔ going to add something and we’re going to add something for Barcelona.
“So ju🐼st try to chip away, bearing in mind that coul✅d be also setbacks.”
