'...in sixth gear in order to bring stuff to the car that we believe can be very helpful.'
Mercedes have identified “why” they are struggling to get lap time out of the W15 with Toto Wolff saying they’re in “sixth gear” to bring upgrades to the track to resolve the car’s issues.
Dealing with an inconsistent car that has performance swings between one session and the next, Wolff says it is “clear now” where and why Mercedes are struggling. “In Formula 1 you can accelerate development and produce the beats and we’re flat out. The design office is all in. The production operations are flat out.
“We managed to pull forward about half of our update kit to Miami and then the other half is going to arrive in Imola, and we are working hard on the future races to try and bring developments to them as well,” said Shovlin. “What we tend to find is that the car from session to session can behave quite differently and until we get on top of that, we are always going to blunt the benefit that we can get from these type of updates.
