LONDON : Mercedes had hoped to introduce their upgraded Formula One car at Imola this weekend but the cancellation of that race means Lewis Hamilton and George Russell must now wait until Monaco next week.
A team spokesman confirmed on Thursday that the upgrades would be on the car around the tight and twisty streets of the Mediterranean principality. "Definitely been counting down the days for it," the Briton said after the Miami Grand Prix when asked about the improvements."I’m really hopeful that helps us take a step forward."
Mercedes' trackside engineering director Andrew Shovlin recognised after Miami that continuing with the old package would not have allowed the team to fight for a world championship."We do hope that it is quicker, we hope that it's better in terms of qualifying and race pace," he added.
