Toto Wolff admits he is “angry” at Mercedes’ current competitive state but believes the team’s 2024 F1 car now has the architect🃏ural baseline neede🐽d to catch Red Bull.

Merce🌜des have introduced upgrades at t♏he last two races in Miami and Imola in a bid to cure their struggles to strike a balance between performance in high-speed and low-speed corners, a major weakness of the inconsistent W15.

“I think we never had such clear indications like we’ve had in the last few rac꧅es where we really saw that the car was either going really fast in the high speed or in the low speed, but never both of the🥀m together,” Wolff told media including at Imola.

“That’s something that we are a𓄧ble now to slowly dial out.”

Wolff conce🐟ded Mercedes’ current level of performance is simply “not good enough” but stressed the eight-time constructors’ world champions are now on the right path after two seasons o🌼f “zig-zagging”.

“I don’t know how often I used the stable platform, I think a stable platform is a car 🐬where you know which deve💜lopment direction to take,” he explained.

𝓀“Where you think you ca﷽n be in the best performance, and that has been the zig-zagging over those last years, and there have been these false dawns absolutely.

✅“But I think there is a fundamental thing that we haven’t spotted wh𝓀en we should have, that’s why there’s more confidence at the moment.

"Having said that nothing in this sport is for granted, we are where we are, it’s not good enough. You can hear in my voﷺice I’m ang♉ry, and just got to do a better job.”

Asked whether the W15 now has the correct aero🌠dynamic architecture to close the gap to Red Bull, Wolff replied: “Yeah it does.

"The basis of the car is more conventional, in the sense of defining where we want to have downforce and how we want⛄ to gener♔ate aero efficiency.

“We pretty much know where this is going a🐎n𒊎d this is the advantage to let’s say the two years prior.”
