Toto Wolff has revealed Mercedes are focusing on “testing and learning” ahead of 2025 due to their position in the F1 constructors’ championship.

Merce🐈des sit a comfortable fourth in the F1 standings with foꦅur rounds to go.

They’re on 366 points, 146 points behind Ferrari💟 in third and 280 points clear of Aston Martin in P5.

Since the summer break, Mercedes🌳 have struggled to recapture their form from earlier in the season.

Headiꦡng into the shutdꦐown, Mercedes had won three of the previous four races.

But s♌ince Zandvoort, they’ve not finished on꧃ the podium with either car.

Mercedes have fallen back amid Ferrari’s upturn in performance, while a number of crashes in recent ra♔ces has meant they’ve reverted back to older parts.

Previewing this weekend’s Sao Paulo Grand Prix, Wolff said: “The past two races in Austin and Mexico City have not be🔴en our cleanest so we are aiming for a smoother weekend at Interlagos.

“Despite the challenges in the US and Mexico, we have furthere🥂d our learning with the W15. Given our position in the championship, we have been able to te🔜st things out with little penalty.

“Whilst we are still focused on maximising our result each and every weekend, that testing and learning will be valuable in setting us 🐽up strongly for 2025. We will continue that approach this weekend in Brazil.”

The sprint weekend returns for Brazil, giving teams just one practice session ahead of the first qualiಞf🤡ying session of the weekend.

“Interlagos is a proper driver's circuit with plenty of undulation and a challenge mix of low, medium, and high-speed corners,” Wolff added. “Given that it is the penultimate Sprint format of the year, we will have to execute effectively from the first session to get the car in🍃 a good window.

“We know it will be difficult to challenge the Ferraris and the McLarens who have looked strong in recent races. We will still b♒e working hard to do so though and will see where our relative performance🀅 is over the weekend.”
