Toto Wolff: Our goal is to retain second place.

      The Singapore circuit has not always suited Mercedes, even during the years of their dominance, but now, ahead of this round, the team has risen to second place in the Constructors' Championship and hopes to consolidate that success.

      Toto Wolff, team principal: "After our success in Azerbaijan we head to Singapore for another street race. And although Baku and Marina Bay share that common feature, at each of the tracks teams face very different challenges.

      The Singapore circuit is narrower and more technical compared with the high-speed track in Azerbaijan. But the main difference is the conditions. Despite the race taking place at night, Singapore's heat and humidity place high demands on the cars and the drivers. And everything depends on how you cope with these particularities over the weekend.

      We are pleased to have climbed onto the podium and to second place in the Constructors' Championship, but we understand how strong the competition is. We must give our all every weekend to fight for strong results going forward and to hold on to second position. That is our main task in Singapore and in the next six races, as the end of the season is not far off."
