Toto Wolff teases what Mercedes fans can expect from the W14 in Baku
The 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:F1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix is the latest opportunity for Mercedes to put their latest dev𒁏elopmentsꦗ to the test.
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton f🌳inished as runner-up last time out in♐ Australia, a promising sign although Red Bull’s dominance remains strong.
"We've had a few weeks off from racing but both factories have been har⭕d at work," Mercedes team principal Wolff said.
"We've tried to maximise this period, bringing planned development to the car and extracting as much as possi▨ble from o♉ur learnings so far.
"Australia showed that we are making progress, although we need to be cautious about reading too much into a single result.&nb🧸sp;
“But the signs in Melbourn🌃e were still encouraging and that has been a good motivator for the whole team heading into this gap in the calendar.
"Over the next races, we want to k🌃eep on making sma⭕ll steps forward.
“The car will continue to evolve in the coming wee☂ks, as we ste𒉰adily bring performance and upgrades to the track.
“We’re ღexcited to see their 🌌impact, but we know there is no magic bullet.”
This weekend in Baku features the first F1 sprint race of the seasoꦚn, with a new format and new rules.
"After just under a month with no F1 action, everyone𒀰’s eager to be backಞ out on track,” Wolff said.
“Thankfully we’ve got plenty of that coming up. It’s a busy window in the ca♔lendar with five races in six weeke🍬nds, starting with Azerbaijan.
"The racing in Baku is always dramatic and꧋ entertaining. It's a ๊challenging track with the walls close, so there’s no room for error.
“We also have our ꦿfirst F1 sprint weekend of the season wi൩th a tweaked format.
"It’s an interesting challenge for us to tackle, with only a single practice session to be ready for two qualifying sessions 🦹and races spread across Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Hopeful🧔ly this will mean more excitement and action for fans to enjoy."
Red Bull have won all three grands prix of 2023 so far, twice via reigning cha✅mpion M🐷ax Verstappen.
Hamilton went winless in 2022 for the first time during his career and will be eager to avoidꦺ that plight again, and the first steps for him to become competitive wi♔th Verstappen again will take place in Azerbaijan.
