Wolff: There will be more new items in the second half of the season.
After Lando Norris's victory at the Hungarian Grand Prix and a challenging weekend for Mercedes, many began to speculate that the team was starting to fall behind its competitors. However, Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff stated that they were prepared for such a turn of events in Brackley.
According to him, the team intentionally abandoned the practice of bringing small updates to almost every race and is now focusing on larger upgrades in the second half of the season.
Toto Wolff: "I hope that after the summer break we will improve. It is essential to choose the right moment for implementing updates so that they have the maximum effect. Bringing new parts to almost every race, as we used to, is no longer possible.
Sooner or later, we will present many new features that will allow us to take a step forward. Competitors will catch up, and the battle will become tighter again. Right now, the team is assessing how many more updates we can prepare. From the perspective of budget cap limits, we are doing fine.
We have tried to keep the bulk of the car updates for the second half of the season. Let's see if that will be enough for victory."
