Follow usToto Wolff has expressed his delight about the recent performance shown by Mercedes and believes the team can use the car as a platform for the rest of the season.
However, the 51-year-old admitted there is still a long way to go before catching dominant Red Bulls.
“I’m very happy for the hard work that has been done [at the factories] in the UK, in Brixworth and in Brackley.” said Wolff
“We took some decisions to go in another direction, we changed so many parts that we thought [there] may be variables that we don’t completely understand. It was a risky move, everybody just pushed forward and we got a good race car.”
Mercedes introduced a new package for the Monaco Grand Prix, which saw the car return to more traditional outlook, dumping out their ‘zero-sidepod’ policy.
The results don’t lie as the Brackley team registered a double podium for the first time this season, finishing with both cars behind race winner Max Verstappen.
