According to Mercedes technical director James Allison, the team is working on upgrades that will help them push their car to the front of the grid, similar to their performance at the Canadian Grand Prix. The upgrades have already shown improvements, as seen with George Russell’s pole position and podium finish in Montreal. While the team’s recent upgrades have enhanced the car’s performance overall, Allison acknowledges that they may not achieve the same level of competitiveness at every track yet. However, he remains confident in the ongoing development of the car and expects it to be more competitive in Barcelona compared to Montreal due to the nature of the upcoming tracks. The focus has been on the front wing introduced in Monaco, which delivered the performance Mercedes had anticipated in Canada, making the car feel easier to drive and more balanced for the drivers, which has been a challenge for the team earlier in the season.
