Wolff confirms: ‘New floor for Mercedes in Austin’

In the US, Toto Wolff is most likely to return to the Mercedes pit lane.
The team’s top executive was able to have an impact on everything that occurred on the track despite being physically away from the team’s last few races due to a recovery procedure.
In order to fully process the information, Wolff had actually built a replica of a pit wall at his house.

During the Qatar GP, Wolff was forced to speak to George Russell on the car’s onboard radio from his living room because the British driver kept harping on about his collision with teammate Lewis Hamilton for far too long.
The thus-likely Austrian in Austin should, in theory, have an easier time of things.
The season’s last tripleheader is beginning in Texas.
Wolff notes that as the season draws to a close, “we have a busy couple of weeks coming up.”.

The team manager wants to take a step back from the US Grand Prix before turning his attention to Qatar.
“The final match in Qatar is a case of what might have been.
The last thing your team wants is for their cars to collide.
A lot of points were dropped, which was disappointing given how fast the car was going.
“.

“How the drivers and the team responded, however, was encouraging. Lewis and George both understand the importance of putting the team first and never intend to compromise that.
I have no doubt that this moment will help us all grow.
Now that Austin is our main priority, we’re making sure to make the most of each upcoming weekend, said Wolff.

The Austrian says he is eagerly anticipating the race at the Circuit of the Americas.
The “fantastic” atmosphere is praised, and he adds that COTA is one of the toughest tracks on the schedule. Mercedes will start the race with a significant update: “We’ll be bringing a modified floor, which is the last significant update we will take to the track this year.”. It could result in a modest gain, but more importantly, it’s another step in determining our course for W15 development.
“.

The objective for the remaining races of the current season is unambiguous: “Recent races have seen a more heated battle for second in the Constructors’.
We’ll keep working hard, keep pushing, and try to accumulate as many points as we can to widen our lead [over Ferrari],” says Wolff.
