Despite successes, Mercedes still has work to do according to Toto Wolff

We left them in Belgium with their two drivers on the two highest steps of the podium, before the disqualification of George Russell. A month later, the Silver Arrows will return to the paddock, boosted by their three victories in four races and their six consecutive podiums. But be careful not to see yourself looking too good in this very tight season, in which victory doesn't matter much.

« We know we have ground to make up”, temperate Toto Wolf, director of the German team. “ We are not yet in a position to compete for victory at every Grand Prix. However, we have made good steps forward to improve the weaknesses of the W15 and we will continue to work hard to improve more. If we succeed, we will close the gap to those who are ahead in both championships. »

The battle is tough in the Drivers and Manufacturers rankings, particularly for the podium. Mercedes, 266 points in the championship, will push to get third place currently occupied by Ferrari, 79 lengths ahead. McLaren, 366 points, knows his dolphin seat is threatened.

Lewis Hamilton's home stretch

The end clap is near. Lewis Hamilton only has ten Grands Prix and three Sprints left to end his story with Mercedes in style. If he has already found the path to success in F1 this season, at home in Silverstone, the seven-time world champion undoubtedly wants to offer more victories and podiums in this last dance with his almost always team.

Why not on the lands of Verstappen ? It seems utopian when we know that the Dutchman has never lost his home race in three years since the Dutch Grand Prix returned to the calendar.
