Mercedes' Toto Wolff says his team have been hard at work trying to understand the foibles of the W15...
Mercedes’ Toto Wolff has explained why his team is hopeful of having made some progress in unlocking more performance from the W15.
From the first two races, Russell has finished in fifth and sixth in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, respectively, with Hamilton coming home in seventh and ninth. “We have been working hard to understand why our performance hasn’t reflected our expectations. Improving that is a major focus. “This team has not been overconfident. We were probably the other way around and see the glass half empty always. That is the attitude to fix it.
“There’s a lot of work going on within the aerodynamics department, vehicle dynamics department. We’re trying to design some experiments there that will hopefully give us a direction that’s good for performance.”
