Valtteri Bottas says the i𝔉ntroduction of a “nice” new aerodynamic package highlights the winning mentality the Mercedes Formula 1 team has.

The German man🐠ufacturer’s development push has not slowed despite winning ni༒ne out of the opening 10 races of the season and holding a huge lead in both world championships.

Mercedes has brought a number of new updates to Hockenheim, includin♛g front wing revisions, an upgraded sidepod which houses a new cooling update, floor tweaks♋, and a new aggressive rear-wing endplate.

Spe🧔aking about the upcoming race, Bottas said: “It’s a different circuit, with hot conditiﷺons and we know that our car is maybe not the most efficient in hot conditions.

“But we have some new bits for the cooling and also a quite nice new aero pack💎age that should give some more performance to the ca🀅r.

“We’ll see as we go but, for sure, for me there is on🦋ly o💦ne goal for the weekend and that is to try and win the race.

“I like that mindset that it’s never enough,” he added. “If we have an advant✨age, a gap, we want more, wꦿe want a bigger gap.

“That’s how we’re all tuned in this team, it’s the winning mentality and I just w෴ish everything works as it should, because I’m sure every team is also pushing very hard and bringing new bits 🎐all the time.”

Bottas said there was a “strong reaction” within Mer🌸cedes’ ranks following its first defeat of the season in Austria, and hopes a new cooling system update will lessen the impact of the W10’s apparent overheating weakness.

“After Austria there was quite a strong reaction from the team, as we clearly had a big weakness in our package and we basi🐼cally introduced a neღw upgrade for the cooling system,” he explained.

“That should be more efficiღent and should hopefully give us quite a few degrees of margin. But I don’t think anybody expected to be racing with 40º C – maybe less on Sunday, but at least tomorrow. We’ll see how it goes.”
