Wolff: The race in Imola will be an important event for Kimi
After six stages of the season, Mercedes is quite confidently taking 2nd place in the Constructors' Cup, and although the Stuttgart factory team is far ahead of McLaren, it is quite noticeably ahead of the rest. According to Toto Wolff, its head, during the races of the European stage of the championship, Mercedes will try to catch up to the leaders, so the work on upgrading the car continues.
Toto Wolff: "A quarter of the season is over, and now we are going to Imola. After the first six races, the following conclusions can be drawn: we have made progress compared to last year, and the W16 car has a better balance than its predecessor.
We have achieved good results in some races, the team has already achieved four podiums, but if we want to fight for victories, we need to keep working. This is exactly what our priority attention is aimed at, and we are starting the European stage of the season with the intention of gradually regaining the gap.
There is a lot of work going on at the Brackley base, and we will present a number of technical innovations at several upcoming races. However, everything is relative in the Formula 1 world, and we understand that our rivals are also progressing. It will be interesting to see how this affects the balance of power on the track.
In addition, the Imola stage is Kimi Antonelli's first home race. He grew up near these places in the vicinity of Bologna, and the upcoming Grand Prix will be a particularly important event for him. However, you can still earn the same 25 points on Sunday as in other races, and in the end that's what matters. George Russell and Kimi will do their best to achieve the best possible result."
