Toto Wolff has labelled Mercedes as “underdogs” once again in F1 as it has slipped back in the pecking order.
Toto Wolff has acknowledged that Mercedes is currently considered F1 “underdogs,” despite their previous successes before the summer break, which included winning multiple Grands Prix and securing pole positions. The team’s recent upgrades have not produced the desired results due to the car’s sensitivity to small changes in air and track temperature. Mercedes is on course to finish fourth in the constructors’ standings this season, the lowest position since 2012. Wolff remains optimistic that the team will bounce back to their pre-summer break form through data analysis and strategic adjustments, aiming to reclaim their competitive position in the sport.
