When Formula 1 teams bring massive aerodynamic packages to the grid, the expectation is some level of quantifiable improvement. But for Mercedes, their heavily hyped updates at the relocated Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia completely backfired, leaving the team baffled…
Mercedes will divide its garage at the Singapore Grand Prix to run an on-track comparison between its new and previous aerodynamic packages. Team principal Toto Wolff confirmed the approach following a disappointing drop in performance after introducing updates in Malaysia. The team plans to equip one car with the older specification and the other with the recent upgrades to diagnose technical issues.
The comparison will take place during a Sprint weekend, leaving Mercedes with only a single 60-minute practice session before parc ferme conditions begin. Additionally, driver George Russell is set to serve a significant engine grid penalty in Singapore following a mechanical retirement at the previous event.
