Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff remains cautious despite their strong win at the Canadian Grand Prix, stressing the importance of not getting too ahead of themselves. Driver George Russell excelled in Montreal, clinching pole position and outperforming Red Bull’s Max Verstappen on race day. Mercedes’ historical strength at the Canadian track was evident, but concerns lingered over their tyre management capabilities in hot conditions.
Russell managed the race expertly, staying ahead of his competitors and effectively executing his strategies. Rising star Andrea Kimi Antonelli also impressed, securing his first F1 podium by overtaking championship leader Oscar Piastri. The performance in Canada was exceptional, attributed in part to Mercedes’ new rear suspension geometry and the unique characteristics of the track.
However, Wolff remains grounded, acknowledging the unpredictable nature of F1 and the challenges that lie ahead in the summer races. With Austria posing different challenges, the team understands the need for continued focus and adaptability in the competitive landscape of Formula 1.
