After the cancellation of the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix, Mercedes decided to bring new items to Monaco, realizing that it was impossible to evaluate their effectiveness on a city circuit …
George Russell: “We are well aware of the unique nature of the Monaco circuit where we will not be able to appreciate the potential of new products.
There are always teams that perform better on this track – and vice versa, that perform worse. When developing the car, our engineers did not try to make it so that it would be most effective in Monaco – we understand that this stage will not provide the necessary information, but we will be better prepared for Barcelona, where we don’t start the weekend completely clean sheet yet.
It is difficult to compete with modern cars in Monaco. It was already clear last year that it is much more difficult to fight here on 18-inch tires than on 13-inch. But we will not leave the novelties in the boxes – we will put them on the cars and we will participate in Monaco with an updated car, as we had previously planned.
