Wolff “the game is long, we are only in the first quarter”

(ANSA) – ROME, MAY 17 – “We are only in the first quarter, most of the game is still to be played”. With a comparison inspired by the equally competitive world of the NBA, the Mercedes team principal, Toto Wolff, is confident in the possibility of the team to start returning to the game as early as the next race, Sunday in Barcelona, ​​despite a disappointing start to the season.

“In Barcelona we hope to transform the enormous work carried out in the factory into concrete improvements thanks to the data collected in Miami – the words of the manager reported on the team’s official website -. Having raced there in the winter tests, albeit with a car that has evolved a lot since then, we will be able to correlate the data of the current car and we hope to take another step forward “. “The Montmelò track does not allow many overtaking but is suitable in its configuration to have an answer on our competitiveness and if we are close to solving the problems we have had”.

At the next appointment, the sixth race out of the 23 scheduled for the 2022 World Cup, Mercedes arrives with a very meager booty, only two podiums, and above all with a Lewis Hamilton in difficulty even against his new teammate, George Russell.

But Wolff defends the multiple world champion, recalling that even the Miami race “was unlucky for Lewis, who was strong all weekend. I have no doubt that things will change over the course of the season”. (HANDLE).
