After the crisis committee for what happened in Imola, Mercedes investigated what happened in Brackley and before the premiere of the Miami Grand Prix, team executive director Toto Wolff shared what happened and the progress they had made. this week without races thanks to the simulator and the wind tunnel.
“It was a difficult weekend for us at Imola. George (Russell) did a great job to finish fourth from a poor starting position, but Lewis [Hamilton] We didn’t give him the tools or track position to show his true speed, ”Wolff recalled.
“Since we came back from Italy, we have learned everything possible from the Grand Prix and, in the same way, our learning has continued in the wind tunnel and in the simulations,” he confirmed in a previous statement from the German team. .
“We’ve found some direction to improve the vehicle, and we’ll be conducting experiments in Miami to link those simulations. We hope to confirm the path of development in future races.”
“Both pilots had been working on the simulator before Miami, and the factories had been busy making upgrades for the following rounds. The saying ‘calm seas don’t make good sailors’ came to mind , and this team has proven its worth. resistance. over the years. The difficult start to this season has ignited a fire within every team member to fix everything, “Wolff said.
After the first four rounds, the hegemonic team of previous years was third in the constructors ’standings, with two podiums in races in Bahrain (Hamilton) and Australia (Russell) and the feeling that they were far from the speed of Ferrari and Red. toro.
The first of the 2022 GGPP on American soil is an important test to see if they will go in the right direction to eliminate the ‘porpoising’ effect and start taking off for the European leg of the championship.
“Miami is an exciting new challenge, a whole step towards the unknown. The track looks demanding, with a mixture of low and high speed corners, and is set to be a fantastic showcase of the sport for our growing fan base in the United States. So we’re ready for an amazing event, and we can’t wait to see how it unfolds. “
