Having already introduced a B-spec car, Toto Wolff says there's an even 'larger' upgrade still to come... F1 Mercedes Formula1
While Mercedes have played down the extent of their remaining W14 upgrade work, team boss Toto Wolff suggested there are still substantial changes coming in multiple stages.
And the journey down that alternative path began at the Monaco Grand Prix, Mercedes unveiling their new-look W14, which among the cluster of changes, most notably featured the switch to more conventional, Red Bull-esque sidepods. And while Mercedes’ trackside engineering director Andrew Shovlin suggested that the bulk of the tinkering with the W14 is complete, thanks largely to the restraints of the budget cap, Wolff has said otherwise.
That being said, even though the target of Verstappen in the Red Bull RB19 seemingly moved a big step closer for Mercedes after the Canadian GP, with further upgrades to come, Wolff stressed that the size of the task cannot be underestimated.“For us we didn’t expect to perform in Canada because of the car’s DNA at the moment, so it’s encouraging to be not so far away,” Wolff stated.
