Toto Wolff believes Mercedes has the experience and confidence to pull things back. He said, “The midfield is very, very compressed and we’re just not quick enough, full stop. There are so many areas where we know we can improve, others where we don’t comprehend the car yet.”

“And we just need to concentrate on ourselves and chip away, the performance. The team is still the same, that won many of the championships.”
