The upcoming weekend grand prix could be a turning point for the former champion F1 team.
Formula One team Mercedes-AMG is planning to introduce a few upgrades at the upcoming Emilia Romagna Grand Prix. Since the beginning of the 2023 Formula One championship, Lewis Hamilton and George Russell have struggled to compete against rival team Red Bull, especially when it comes to straight-line speed.
For the record, Mercedes is the only team that is presently running with its unique set-up of sidepods.
The German boss said, "I think we are chasing downforce and we're trying to do the best possible job in terms of the mechanical platform. What we're doing is we're introducing a new bodywork, and we're introducing a new floor and we're doing a new front suspension and that's pretty large. That's a pretty large operation. Large surgery. It’s going to be a lot of learning in the virtual world, where it is good lap time," as quoted by media outlet Crash.net.
"That's why the upgrade that we're bringing is going to help us to set the direction, and to understand the various areas that we believe could play a role in why the car is so poisonous to drive," Wolff added.
Another area that Mercedes could improve is the front suspension of the W14.
