“Still a bit nasty on the rear” - Mercedes still seeking improvements from upgrade

Speaking af♋ter the race, Wolff was asked about the impact the upgrade has h♐ad on the W14.
“The car felt together, which is important, but it’s still🍨 a bit nasty on the rear,” he said. “So that's something which we need to dial out of the car💞 for the next few races.
“But we hav𝄹e a new baseline and that's important to say: ‘Okay, this is what we have now.' We've taken questions off the table where we weren't sur🦄e of, be it the front suspension or the extravaganza of our bodywork. So, let's work from here.
“We're good at grinding away and the work that was done in the factories to bring that update here to Monaco from our team, it was really a big efforꦏt.”
This weekend’s race takes place in Ba🌟rcelona - a track often ꦚused over the years for pre-season testing.
The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya has a number of low-speꦑed, medium-speed and high-speed corners giving teams like Mercedes the perfect opportunity to assess their new package.
“I think Barcelona is not enoug♎h,” he added. “I think we need to collect data. That's why we put it also here i༺n Monaco, and to collect further analysis which we will do in Barcelona. The next one, Montreal, is a little bit of an outlier again.
“But over the next races hopefully we can really increase the perfo🦹rmance of the car. But it's not going to suddenly be right there.
“That's why I'm actually plea꧟sed with the time gap that we had in Monaco. It was always a mediocre track for us, so that’s okay.”
