Mercedes has a clear target in the final 10 rounds of the 2025 F1 season, having introduced its last major upgrades package before the summer break.
Mercedes chief communications officer Bradley Lord has revealed that the team has no further “big upgrades” planned in its competition with Ferrari and Red Bull for second place. Despite a mixed start to the season, George Russell has managed to secure six podium finishes, including a victory in Canada. Meanwhile, rookie Kimi Antonelli has had difficulty maintaining consistency, with several non-point finishes leading into the summer break. Mercedes and its rivals have already introduced substantial upgrades to their cars, with no major developments planned in the near future. Lord expressed skepticism about teams introducing significant upgrades post-summer break, as focus shifts towards the new regulations next year. The team remains committed to maximizing its understanding of the car’s performance potential and will push hard in the second half of the season to secure a strong finish in the Constructors’ Championship.
