Toto Wolff has conceded Mercedes will struggle to “get rid” of their performance fluctuations during the 2025 F1 season.

Mercedes claimed four race victories split between168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lewis Hamilton and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell las🐼t term but the level of their competitiveness s⛦wung dramatically throughout the campaign.

The Silver Arrows were unable to explain their dominance at the Las Ve♓gas Grand Prix, where Russell led a convincing 1-2 finish, while on other weekends the team’s pace went missing.

And Mercedes team pr𓃲incipal Wolff has admitted his side are unlikely to e🌟radicate the problem completely heading into the new season.

Wolff says Mercedes are hoping that their W16 challenger will have a w💫ider operating window than its predecessor, the W15.

“The trick is to be on the good side as often as possible,” Wolff told German publication Auto Motor ཧund Sport.

“You start to correlate patterns – race 🧜tracks where your car is good, practice sessions where you pushed your car, tyre compounds with which the car harmonises better, track temperatures that are good for the car.

“I hope that we draw the right conclusions from this over the winter and adjust thꦇe development direꦇction for the 2025 car.

“We won’t be a꧋ble to get rid of these fluctuations comp൲letely. We will also see them next year with all the teams.”

Despite Mercedes’ struggles in particular, Wolffꦐ believes all of F1’s leading teams faced similar troubles to some extent throughout 2024.

“All four teams that won races [in 20🐭24] have exp✤erienced these ups and downs,” Wolff added.

“Nobody has designed a car that was consistently go♎od across all race tracks and all weather condition💖s.

“McLaren had a great car for maxim🎶um downforce and hot weather. The Ferrari was also more on that side.

“Our car was fast when there were fast corn💜ers and the temperatu🎉res were cold. The Red Bull could sometimes do one thing and sometimes the other.”

Russell will be partnered by 18-year-old168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Andrea Kimi Antonelli this year after the Italian replaced Ham♔ilton following his shock switch to Ferrari.
