Toto Wolff believes Mercedes’ main challenge for this weekend’s F1 Singapore Grand Prix will be “controlling tyr🥃e temperatures” following an inconsistent level of performance last time out in Azerbaijan.

Mercedes showed great pace in the second half of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix on Sunday, with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell baffled by the 🎶disparity in performance between the two compounds.

Russell’s pace was impressive on 𓄧the hard tyre - with it less susceptible to overheating.

It’s likely going to be a similar challenge at the 🧜Marina Bay Street Circuit due to warm temperatures and the intense nature of the grand prix.

Looking ahead to the weekend, Wolff said: “We head straight to Singapore for the s🍒econd race෴ in this double header. Although a street circuit like Baku, Marina Bay is a different challenge.

“Physically, it is incredibly demanding🦹 on both the drivers and team members. The heat and humidity play a big role in that but so does the track itself.

“It is bumpy in places, contains a mixture of bot🧔h low and high speed cornerܫs, and the walls are waiting to catch you out.”

Since the summer break, Mercedes have struggled to refind t🔯heir form.

Before Zandvoort, Merced🐬es had won three of the last four races, beco꧑ming F1’s inform team.

But sin🌞ce then, they’ve 💧struggled as Ferrari’s moved back ahead in the pecking order.

“After a mixed weekend in Azerbaijan, we will take the learnings from𒅌 Baku and aim for an improved performance in Singapore,” Wolff added.

“At times, our pace was strong but we couldn't deliver that consistently. Our main challenge was controlling tyre temperatures and something we know we🅷 need to improve upon.

“It is e💯ncouraging that, when we get the car working, we have the pace to be competitive.

“Whil๊sܫt we came away with a podium though, we know that it was fortuitous and we were P5 on merit.”
