Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff says the team is “really proud of what we have achieved in terms of concept, but now we need to make it go fast”.
After Mercedes revealed their radical upgrade for the W13 on the first day of the Bahrain pre-season test, Toto Wolff was asked about his team’s amazing innovation.
While the Austrian couldn’t hide his excitement, we also warned that the new concept still has to be tested on the track.
“I think we are really proud of what we have achieved in terms of concept, but now we need to make it go fast,” Wolff said at the Thursday press conference.

“I think it’s a development direction that we like, and it’s about tuning the car and so we are experimenting a lot, as we’ve done during the day, and approaching it with curiosity.
“I think there [are still] issues that are… Bahrain-specific. It’s very hot, you see a lot of cars still bouncing – some on the straights, others through the corners – so it’s a tuning question.
“And we haven’t really looked at performance data yet,” concluded Mercedes’ team boss.
