After the Hungarian Grand Prix, Mercedes narrowed the gap with Ferrari by 30 points in the battle for second place in the constructors’ championship. However, according to team leader Toto Wolff, Mercedes is not yet able to compete on an equal footing with the championship leaders.
“The second is the first of the losers,” Racingnews365 quoted Toto Wolff. – I don’t care if we come second or third in the constructors’ championship. For us it is more important to participate in this battle, to win races rightly, to be ahead of Ferrari and Red Bull and to prepare for the next season, than to worry about the current position in the championship.
I don’t think we can suddenly get back into the fight and win races. Yes we had a good qualifying and race but I don’t think we are close enough to Ferrari and Red Bull to fight them. We still have a lot to learn, so mistakes will be inevitable.”
