Toto Wolff: Mercedes are pushing hard to weed out remaining weaknesses

Mercedes boss Toto Wolff has said that the team is working hard to find and solve weaknesses in the car that have shown in the last couple of races.

The Silver Arrows have been out of sorts so far this year with them unable to challenge for race victories, and that has been a real surprise to see.

It’s something that the team is looking to rectify as soon as possible, but races in Spain and Monaco have underlined just where they are at the moment.

Indeed, in Barcelona they made good strides with their car before Monaco saw them set back a little, and so it’s very much a work in progress still in terms of their development and improvement.

Wolff has revealed that the team is flat out trying to solve their remaining issues, though, with him having this to say ahead of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix this weekend:

“We head to Baku refreshed after a hectic Monaco weekend full of red flags, delays and changeable weather.

“We scored solid points, but more was possible over the weekend, and we need to be maximising every opportunity we can to stay in the fight.

“As in Barcelona, the slow-speed corners of Monaco presented the W13 a tough challenge but also provided us with valuable learning.

“With another street circuit in Baku up next, the team has been working flat-out to analyse those two races and identify the areas we can innovate to push us forward.”
