“In a few weeks, we will meet up and sign the contract renewal.Sir Lewis Carl Davidson Hamilton is a British racing driver competing in Formula One for Mercedes AMG Pretronas Formula One Team. “Everyone is reporting on this topic live,” he told Sky Deutschland. On the driver front, however, Wolff thinks stability will be the order of the day – even though a new deal with 38-year-old Hamilton is long delayed. They have a suspension that is really in another league.” “But Formula 1 is a meritocracy, and we have to acknowledge how good the Red Bull is in terms of driveability. “In 2016 we won 19 races out of 21, mostly 1-2s,” he said. Wolff told Kronen Zeitung newspaper that Red Bull is as dominant today as Mercedes was in 2016. That’s not the way to make us competitive anyway.”

“They’ve had this penalty since October,” he said, “and it hasn’t really had an effect. “Right now we can’t say whether we’ll be better there (at Imola) or not.”Īt the same time, Wolff doubts that Red Bull’s even more restricted wind tunnel time as a result of last year’s overspend saga will slow the dominant team down very much. “With free upgrades, we’d be changing twice as much. “Due to the budget constraints, it’s impossible to do a new chassis in the current season,” he said. Nonetheless, Wolff says the package will include new front suspension, a new floor and other aerodynamic features. There’s been so much talk about these upgrades that they seem to expect that we will suddenly be beating Red Bull by a lap,” he said. “It’s not easy to accept such a gap.Ī lot of hopes are now resting on a major car upgrade next time out at Imola, but boss Wolff says he is trying to “lower expectations”. “It was like a punch in the stomach,” said Hamilton, whose deal ends late this year.

The Brackley based team initially looked competitive in Miami, only to fall a second off the pace in the second Friday practice session.
