The Brackley-based outfit 🔯drafted in 🧜a revised front wing for the British Grand Prix at Silverstone.

Despite🧜 their recent upgrade, Mercedes were overshadowed by customer team McLaren, who finished second and fourth last w🎶eekend.

Speakiℱng in Mercedes’ post-British GP debrief on YouTube, James Allison conceded it’s “too early to tell” when discussing the impact of the new front wing.

“It’s a bit too earl🐻y to tell,” he said. “The new🅺 front-wing is of course designed to make us go faster. That's why we do all our things. 

“The specific ch𒁃aracteristics of this new front-wing that we are excited about, is that it should improve the balance and performance of the car throug🦂h the slower range of the corners. 

“Now, Si🤪lverstone is famous for lots of things🗹 but lots and lots of slow corners is not one of them. What we took as a comfort from Silverstone is that in the slower parts of the track, we were looking pretty decently competitive. 

“That's a tick in the box for this🤪 new front-wing. But I guess i💫t will only be when we get to Hungary, which is a track made up almost entirely of slower stuff, that we'll get to know for sure. 

“Early signs are promising, the new front-wing seemed to do what we expecte𒐪d and hopefully it will bring us more at tracks which have a wider range of slow corners.”
