Mercedes Trackside Engineering Director Andrew Shovlin says “we have a new front wing that we’re going to be bringing that will hopefully move us a bit further up the grid”.
Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff recently revealed that the team will introduce another “big” upgrade at Silverstone, and then a “a smaller one afterwards”.
Mercedes’ Trackside Engineering Director Andrew Shovlin says the “big” upgrade is a new front wing.
“Well, [the British Grand Prix is] a fantastic event that we really look forward to,” Shovlin said in Mercedes’ Austrian Grand Prix debrief video.
“The team is based very close to the track, we’ve got two British drivers and the support is always absolutely phenomenal, so we love going there.

“We’ve got updates coming to the car, we have a new front wing that we’re going to be bringing that will hopefully move us a bit further up the grid.
“And also, we’re hoping that the track itself is just going to suit the car a bit better than that Austria circuit.
“So we’re working very hard, we know that it’s going to be very difficult to get anywhere close to Max in the Red Bull car, but we’ve got a great fight going on at the moment with Ferrari, with Aston Martin, McLaren have joined in that battle.
“So as I said, we’re going to be working really hard to make sure we can get as much out of the package as we can, and hopefully it’ll be a great race for all the fans,” the Briton concluded.
