[Saba Sports News] According to the latest news from the Mercedes F1 team, they will upgrade their car at the next F1 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix. Mercedes will bring new front suspension upgrades along with corresponding aerodynamic and chassis improvements at Imola, focusing on enhancing the long-distance speed and tire temperature control capabilities of the W16. The goal is to extend the single lap competitiveness achieved in qualifying to the full race distance, making the car perform more stably under different track conditions, thus improving overall race results. Since the beginning of this F1 season, the Mercedes team has been underperforming. After six races at the start of the season, the Mercedes team lagged behind McLaren. Through the upgrades at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, the team hopes to improve the full race competitiveness of the car, converting the single lap advantage from qualifying into victory in the race, thereby narrowing the gap between the driver and team championships with leading teams. The upgrade at the Imola Grand Prix is an important step in Mercedes’ series of upgrade plans this year. Through the effects of this upgrade, the team can verify whether the previously formulated upgrade direction is correct, providing reference for subsequent upgrades and research work, so as to timely adjust strategies and better improve the car’s performance.
