Although Mercedes did tweak certain components on their cars, Toto Wolff says this cannot be considered as ‘upgrades’, and adds “that will come for Imola”.
Mercedes had a hard time in Azerbaijan on Friday, with Lewis Hamilton only managing to qualify in P5, while George Russell got eliminated in Q2, and ultimately qualified in P11.
Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff says the cars are actually “in a good window”, however they were not able to challenge the top teams.
“It is confusing with the times, but we are struggling,” Wolff told Sky Sports F1.
“The margins are so tiny behind the top three, so we need to do out of it.

“We are losing in three corners, we are pretty matched with [Charles] Leclerc and [Max] Verstappen in the first two corners, and then the middle sector, the twisty bits, the Ferraris are outstanding.
“We have the car in a good window, it is just generally the car is not stable for the drivers and doesn’t have enough load.
“We haven’t put any upgrades on the car, that will come for Imola, so we need to make the best out of this package,” the Austrian concluded.
