In a thrilling turn of events, Mercedes’ Team Principal, Toto Wolff, sets his sights on the upcoming race in Jeddah, declaring boldly, “私たちはアラビアでも表彰台を目指します!”
Mercedes, on a quest for their fourth podium finish of the year, aims to shake things up for McLaren in Saudi Arabia. Despite their victory in the first edition of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, Mercedes has failed to grace the podium since 2022. With the talented George Russell in their ranks, the team from Brackley is gearing up to deliver another stellar performance.
Toto Wolff, the mastermind behind Mercedes’ strategy, stands firm in his belief that the Bahrain Grand Prix was just the beginning of their resurgence. Reflecting on Kimi Antonelli’s challenging race, Wolff praises the young driver’s skill and resilience in the face of adversity.
Wolff shares, “バーレーンでのパフォーマンスに励まされたものの、ジェッダは異なる挑戦です。リアリミテッドなトラックから、さまざまな高速および中速セクションを持つフロントリミテッドなトラックへの移行は、レースの順位を予測するのは愚かです。しかし、私たちは再び表彰台を争うことを目指します。”
Regarding George Russell’s remarkable drive in Bahrain, Wolff commends his exceptional talent and the team’s quick thinking under pressure. As they analyze the issues faced during the race, Wolff emphasizes their determination to prevent such setbacks in the future.
As for Kimi Antonelli, Wolff recognizes the Bahrain Grand Prix as a crucial learning curve. Despite demonstrating the pace to compete for a top-five finish, Antonelli’s race was plagued by misfortunes. Wolff acknowledges the young driver’s potential and highlights the race in Bahrain as a pivotal moment in his budding F1 career.
With tension mounting and expectations soaring, Mercedes is poised to make a statement in Jeddah and secure their spot on the coveted podium once again.
