It had previously been thought that Mercedes might have to wait until the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix at the end of May to bring up𝕴grades but Wolff has offered a new 🦩clue.

"We will consistently be bringing upgrades to the car over the next few 🅺races, which is something to look forward to,” Wolff said in a Q&A published on Mercedes’ website. 

“But there is no ꦿsuch thing as a magic bu🍃llet that transforms the car, and it's about being realistic with your expectations. Hopefully we will see a steady improvement.”

However, Russell ཧreturns to F1 knowing a grid penalty🦩 looms later this year.

His engine, which was on fire and caused his retirement fro🔯m the F1 Australian Grand Prix, is not salv♏ageable according to German publication . 

It means he will use a second ⛎V6 engine in Baku next weekend, wi🐼th only three permitted in the whole of 2023.
