Il Miami Grand Prix is almost upon us, and among the teams most under pressure there is certainly la Mercedes. The team of the star is called to take an evolutionary step in order not to fall too far behind in the pursuit of the top positions currently occupied by Ferrari e Red Bull.
A further factor that certainly does not leave the team at peace Brackley it is that of 'time'; in fact we have now reached the fifth stage championship, but the situation of the constructors' world champion team seems in fact always the same. The engineers, with the passing of the stages of the season, are inexorably approaching a limbo: given the difficulties of the single-seater of Lewis Hamilton e George Russellin fact, the technicians could choose, if they were unable to solve the major problems afflicting the car, to abandon the project W13 and devote himself to the year 2023, effectively starting with a huge delay on the roadmap compared to the other teams.
Il Grand Prix which will be held this Sunday, therefore, could constitute one of the last calls for the fateful decision of the engineers, who, if they manage to solve the macro-problems of the car, would have the possibility of starting to develop it as they would like, admitting that the potential announced in the pre-season tests is actually what we hoped for.
Updates
Il team principal Toto Wolff spoke about the situation of the team to the microphones of the media, declaring that in the US leg will be tried some updates to try to improve the picture of the machine: “Since we got back fromItalian we tried to understand as much as possible from that weekend and, in parallel, we worked in the wind tunnel and on simulations. We have found several directions for improving the machine and will conduct experiments a Miami to relate these simulations. We hope to confirm the development path for the next races".
I work on the simulator
Il manager of Vienna also spoke from the great work done to the simulator da Hamilton e Russell, to understand what changes to make to the single-seaters on the track Florida"Both of our pilots worked at the simulator in view of Miami and factories have been busy producing updates for the next races. The saying comes to mind 'calm seas don't make good sailors', this team has demonstrated its resilience over so many seasons and the difficult start to this season has lit a fire within every member of the team. Everyone is determined to put things right.".
