'There was a moment...'
Toto Wolff says it wasn’t a “miracle front wing” that resurrected Mercedes ’ form but rather “a moment” led by technical director James Allison where suddenly the data made sense.Additional reporting by Thomas Maher and Sam CooperPutting a new flexi front wing on the W15, the design was heralded as a “eureka” moment for the former World Champions who in the four races after Monte Carlo recorded a run of podium results including back-to-back wins in Austria and Silverstone.
“There was a moment where, led by James, suddenly the data made sense, and the gap,” he told the media at Silverstone, including PlanetF1.com. Allison returned to his former role as Mercedes’ technical director in August 2023 as part of a leadership reshuffle, replacing Mike Elliott who has since left the team.Scoring 142 points in the five races since George Russell ran the new wing in Monaco, Mercedes have outscored every team on the grid including Red Bull.
