Toto Wolff: In Monza we must give it our all.

      Before the Italian Grand Prix, Toto Wolff, the head of the Mercedes team, set his staff the task of continuing to reduce the gap to Ferrari in the Constructors' Championship, while trying to avoid problems similar to those that occurred the previous weekend.

      Toto Wolff: "We are going to Monza determined to work more consistently this weekend than in Zandvoort and to try to avoid complications. At times it seemed we had a fairly decent pace that would allow us to fight for a podium.

      Kimi, although he started from 11th, made decent progress, and if it hadn't been for the contact with Charles Leclerc's car, he would most likely have been able to challenge the drivers ahead of him closer to the finish. As for George, his race was also affected by the incident with the Ferrari. But he handled it well, scoring points for fourth place, even though the floor of his Mercedes sustained significant damage.

      The Italian Grand Prix is always a special weekend held in a fantastic atmosphere. Kimi is due to compete in his second home race of the season, and although all of this makes him nervous, we know he will be 100% focused on his work on track.

      McLaren leads, but behind that team's two cars the pack is very tight, and we must push as hard as possible to continue closing the gap to the team occupying second place in the Constructors' Championship."
