Mercedes still believes Red Bull can be beaten on pure pace in F1 this year, which is why it does not want to switch full focus to its 2024 car just yet. ⬇️
Asked by Motorsport.com if he still believed that Mercedes can beat Red Bull on pure pace terms at some point this year, Wolff said: “I maintain the belief because, if I were to say I don't maintain the belief, then we may as well turn it off and put everything into next year's car, and be happy to finish in the top 10.
“But you can't. You just have to continue working. We need to take these bad days as good as possible, and try to rebound and come closer. We've seen races where we were decent, and I think the gap to Verstappen was 10 seconds in Montreal, which looks much more encouraging that it was [in Austria].” Motorsport Images
While the form of the chasing pack behind Red Bull fluctuates quite a lot depending on track characteristics and upgrade cycles, Wolff sees no alarm about Mercedes having slipped back in Austria as he thinks it is just a temporary blip. “I think what we're seeing is that the constant is Max in front and then it is between his team-mate, Aston Martin,“It seems to be changing from race to race, and there's not quite a pattern that we can discover so far. had an upgrade [in Austria], and that could be one of the explanations. But we're bringing one next week [to Silverstone]."
