On the eve of the Brazilian Grand Prix, Mercedes head Toto Wolff commented on the team’s results during the final stage in Mexico City and outlined the tasks for the upcoming race in Interlagos.
Toto Wolff: “We left Mexico City maintaining a lead over Ferrari in the battle for second place in the Constructors’ Championship. This is an important fight for us and the team is determined to succeed.
Considering the difficult start of the weekend in Mexico City and our starting positions, second place is a good result. The car had a strong race pace, but we know there is still a lot to be done to get the most out of the W14 over the three days. Lewis Hamilton performed very strongly and reached the podium, and George Russell gave his best, although closer to the finish his car’s tires lost their effectiveness.
The final phase of the built series awaits us in Brazil. The team made a good step forward in the last races, but the round in Mexico City showed that the W14 is not easy to work with. We will arrive at Interlagos with a solid base to work from, but we will see what results we can achieve.
Of course we have pleasant memories of the Brazilian stage, especially the last two visits: Lewis won in 2021 and George won in 2022. The local fans are passionate fans of Formula 1 and give us a warm welcome. I hope our car is fast and we can give them a great show.”
