Toto Wolff receives huge vote of confidence from George Russell as Mercedes plot upgrades

Wolff’s team teased developments to their W14 as early as next weekend’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix as they bid to hunt down the Red Bulls.
The team principal has now been handed a glowing review by Russell as the F1 ‘spring break’ gets set to conclude.
“He’s been an integral part of my career,” Russell said to Square M꧃ile.
“Highly intelligent, a charismatic bloke, he’s be♉en a huge part of the success of the team and is going t♒o be a huge part of the return of Mercedes after what’s been a difficult season.
“A huge motivator, an u🐷nbelievable leader, he gives everybody his time.
“It doesn’t matter if they are a chief aerodynamicist or working on the shop floor, ꦦhe respects everybody.
“I think that’s why ✅he still has such a team around him and so much trust. I feel fortunate to work with such a great guy.”

It had previously been thought that Mercedes might have to wait until the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix at the end of May to bring upg💦rades but Wolff has offered a new ꦚclue.
"We will consistently be bringing upgrades to the car over the next few races, which is something to lookꩵ 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 expect🐻ations. Hopefully we will see a steady improvement🌃.”
However, Russell returns to F1 knowing a grid penalty l🎉ooms later this year.
H൩is engine, which was on fire and caused his retirement from the F1 Australian Grand Prix, is not salvageable according🅷 to German publication .
It means h♓e will use a second 🅘V6 engine in Baku next weekend, with only three permitted in the whole of 2023.
