Wolff: In Austin and Mexico we lost our advantage
On the eve of the São Paulo Grand Prix Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff commented on the fight for second place in the Constructors' Championship and outlined the tasks facing the team at the Brazilian round.
Toto Wolff: "There are four races left in the season. We and Ferrari are separated by just one point in the Constructors' Championship, and Red Bull are only nine points behind. Our team has had a difficult few weeks, but we continue to fight for second place.
Each of the remaining four rounds will be critical in this battle for second place in the Constructors' Championship. Although we lost ground to our rivals in Austin and Mexico, we can strike back in Brazil.
The penultimate round of the season being a sprint means we must give everything from the opening session. Interlagos is an old-school track with bumpy tarmac, elevation changes and corners of all types. Add unpredictable weather to that and you'll see that drivers have almost no margin for error.
It doesn't matter exactly what awaits us this weekend, but we must get to work immediately, perform better than our direct rivals and make up ground."
