The German manufacturer has been left buoyed by recent improvements made by a major upgrade thaღt was first introduced at the Monaco Grand Prix, and are targeting further gains with more updates for the W14 planned. 

Mercedes hope to be able to fight for “some v♊ictories” by the end of the season amid their ongoing quest to catch current runaway leaders Red Bull, who have won all eight races so far this season. 

Wolff said Mercedes’ plans for a big overhaul of next year’s W15 challenger will not be impacted by the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 cost cap. 

"We have set up a huge org෴anisation in our financial department of 46 people, that monitors the cost cap down to the last 𓆉screw,” Wolff explained. 

"We look at that trend of our spend during🍷 all of the year and what we've done is basica💫lly allocate resource to various projects.

"We've stayed below that line all year last year, and we're s𒁃till below that line this year and that is considering a normal development switch for next year. This is𒆙 still pretty much on track.

"The good thing is that we are constantly learning about what the car is doing. There are going to be some fundamental desi🍸gn changes for next year, but it's not that we're building stuff. It's more like what are we simulating? That is not measured in moꦯney, or teraflops or wind tunnel hours.”

Mercedes focused on rear-end improvements 

After finishing third at the Canadian Grand Prix, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton described the rear-end of Red Bull’s RB19 car as “insane”.&n𒐪bs🍒p;

Wolff confirmed Mercedes are working on improvinܫg their traction out of low-speed corners, which has been one of the main shortcomings of🌳 the W14. 

"That wa🍒s the problem of the car all along since we started last year,” Wolff said. “We have a strong front but we still trailing and still not good enough and we've seen that today, particularly out of the low-speed corners with traction and stabilitꦺy. 

"I think we can fix it, but it is aero, it is the mechanical concept - that's al😼l intertwined, there's not one thing.”

He added: "I think we are un𓃲derstanding better the simulations, the time correlates with what we are seeing on track, and that's been our problem over the last one-and-a-hal💎f years.

"We are seeing good performance 💞gains that are coming in in the tunnel, we are seeing better understanding of what the car needs in order to go fast, what the setups need to look like. So generally the steps are getting bigger now, I think we are making good inroads."
