, the fact that he was able to battle for a podium spot on pure pace marked a big step forward for his Brackley-based squad.is making good progress with its car, Wolff is adamant that his team will not allow itself to make the same mistake it made after this year’s Spanish GP.
But struggles at subsequent venues since then – including especially tricky times in Monaco and Baku – proved to be a reality check for the team. Asked if he felt the British GP form meant the team could change its mindset for the rest of the season, Wolff said: “No, not yet, because we have had in Barcelona moments of where we saw some light at the end of the tunnel.
Pushed on whether he felt that Mercedes could at least feel it now has a solid direction with the W13, Wolff said: “We hit direction in Barcelona too. We still have our ride issue, that we had over all three days, less so in the race, and that's something we need to tackle.”
