Wolff expects “competitive showing” from Mercedes in Singapore
Mercedes, with George Russell and Lewis Hamilton finishing fifth and sixth respectively, were clearly the third-fastest team at Monza. They currently hold a comfortable second place in the championship, although they haven’t consistently challenged Red Bull for the top spot. Looking ahead to the Marina Bay Street Circuit, Mercedes Team Principal Toto Wolff believes that the track will suit their W14 car. He emphasized the importance of maximizing results in order to secure second place in the Constructors’ Championship. Despite the characteristics of their car not being ideal for Monza, Mercedes still performed competitively. The team is encouraged by the W14’s strong performance across a variety of tracks and is optimistic about their chances in Singapore, where the hot and humid conditions pose a unique challenge for all teams. Wolff acknowledges the close battle with their closest competitors and the unpredictable nature of the order each weekend. However, Mercedes traditionally excels on high downforce tracks, which gives them hope for a competitive showing in Singapore.
