Elliott stated, “What we really want to do is win races. We want to have a car that is competing right at the front, particularly with Max in the Red Bull.” He also emphasized the team’s aspiration to outpace their competitors consistently and close the gap with Verstappen’s lead.
One of the most encouraging signs for Mercedes is their evolving consistency. The team has achieved a more stable performance level across races, eliminating the fluctuations that plagued them previously. Elliott commented, “What is encouraging is that we are starting to see a level of performance from the car that is consistent race to race.”
