Toto Wolff has admitted Mercedes is not an update or two away from returning to the top step of the podium in Formula 1. For Mercedes, it’s a fundamental reset – but team boss Wolff insists it will not affect his focus on F1. “We’ll be using the same cars in 2023, which means we’ll need everything we are learning now for next year. The team is pinning some hopes on upgrades both this weekend in Miami and again in Barcelona, but Wolff admits it won’t be enough to charge for wins. “No, we are too far away for that – unfortunately!” “We were both upset, but totally on the same page,” Wolff insists.
