Wolff: The position in the Constructors' Cup is not important

      Before the Spanish Grand Prix, the Mercedes team is in second place in the Constructors' Cup, but with more than two times behind McLaren. Team principal Toto Wolff does not consider second place a goal this season.…

      Toto Wolff: "The position in the Constructors' Championship doesn't matter right now. Our goal is to achieve the maximum in each individual race, to understand how the tires work, and to develop ideas that will be useful in 2026.

      Besides, almost no one remembers the winner of the second place in the Constructors' Cup or in the individual competition, so I'm not particularly interested in this.

      Other things are much more important. We have seen this not only with us, but also with Ferrari, when you suddenly lose control and confidence in your abilities, you cannot understand whether your new products are working, whether the difficulties that have arisen are related to external factors, as in Imola.

      Last year, racing in hot weather was our Achilles' heel, but in cooler conditions we were more competitive. We continue to assess the situation, look for reasons and draw conclusions. Let's see how it goes in Barcelona and in the next races. But we're clearly in worse shape now than we were before Miami."
