It had previously been thought that Mercedes might have to wait 👍until the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix at the end of May to bring upgrades but Wolff has offered a new clue.

"We will consistently be bringing upgrades to the car over the next few races, which is something to look👍 forward to,” Wolff said in a Q&A published on Mercedes’ website. 

“But there is no such thing as a magic bullet that transforms 🌃the car, and it's about being realistic with your expectations. Hopefully we will see a steady improvement.”

However, Russ🔥ell returns to F1 knowing a grid penalty looms later this year.

His engine, which was on fire and caused his retirement from the F1 Australian Grand Prix, is not salvageable according to German publicati🐟on . 

It means he will use a seco🐎nd V6 engine in Baku next weekend, with only three permitted in the whole of 2023.
