Mercedes have been the dominant team in the 2026 season so far and are bringing upgrades to their W17 to maintain their lead in the title race against Ferrari, McLaren, and Red Bull. McLaren showed promise in Miami, securing top finishes and aiming to challenge Mercedes for race victories and championship points. As George Russell aims to close the gap in the drivers’ championship, Mercedes is focusing on extending their lead in the constructors’ championship with a new set of upgrades for the Canadian Grand Prix. Despite the early success, Mercedes is aware of the long season ahead and the need to stay balanced, focused, and responsive to their competitors.
