🗣 'The car was awful last year and this time around the drivers said it's not good. So, there's a step in description.' Toto Wolff says upgraded Mercedes F1 car was 'encouraging' at MonacoGP but adds there's much more work to do:
“We have been three tenths behind pole. Last year was six tenths [sic].“So, there’s a step in description. But we really need to be careful.“I don’t expect us clearing Aston Martin and Ferrari there either.”Wolff added that the mission across the Spanish GP weekend will be to understand how to optimise the set-up for the new car, and that the Mercedes high work ethic would carry the team forward.
He continued: “It is more about understanding what does this car do now and how do we need to set it up?“Even with the old package that wasn’t great - it was terrible at the beginning of the season - we managed to win a race in Interlagos in a very dominant way. So, we’re going to get there.”He said: “Here, it’s mainly ride and low-speed downforce. You don’t see that on many other tracks.He added: “I think we’ve been better in FP1 actually and FP2 than the rest of the weekend.
