沃尔夫:梅赛德斯仍需升级关键答案
托托·沃尔夫表示,梅赛德斯需要全面了解近期升级的潜力,这对2027年赛车的开发“至关重要”,新加坡大奖赛是“朝着正确方向迈出的一步”。
梅赛德斯车队负责人托托·沃尔夫在新加坡大奖赛“不寻常”的规格分歧后,透露了对赛车升级的最新评估。
基米·安东内利在新加坡驾驶了梅赛德斯的升级版赛车,而乔治·拉塞尔在车队马来西亚出现问题后换回了旧版赛车;沃尔夫认为两位车手在下一场比赛中都可能使用新规格赛车;请于10月23日至25日在天空体育F1观看美国大奖赛的每节练习与排位。

托托·沃尔夫表示,梅赛德斯需要全面了解近期升级的潜力,这对2027年赛车的开发“至关重要”,此前新加坡大奖赛是“朝着正确方向迈出的一步”。
梅赛德斯采取了沃尔夫承认的“不寻常”做法,在上一场比赛中使用了两种不同的赛车规格,此前在上一站马来西亚为两辆W17引入的重大升级遇到了问题,这是这位世界冠军领跑者自五月以来的首次重大升级。
基米·安东内利在新加坡使用了更新的规格,而乔治·拉塞尔则换回了旧套件,在那个周末他已经知道自己将因引擎处罚而从大奖赛发车格的后排起步。

使用旧版套件的拉塞尔在最初的冲刺赛各节练习与排位中证明是两位车手中更快的一位,随后使用新版套件的安东内利在主要排位赛中更快,之后在大奖赛中获得第三名,向赢得世界冠军迈出了重要一步。
安东内利赛后表示有信心,“我们开始看到隧道尽头的曙光”。
回顾周末结束时的分车测试计划,梅赛德斯车队负责人沃尔夫表示:“我们在这家尖端技术企业里采取了不同寻常的举措,让两辆赛车采用不同配置,因为我们认为需要加速学习曲线,这很好。
“从根本上说,回顾这场比赛,我认为这辆新车需要与上一辆车截然不同的调校理念。这就是我们目前正在学习的东西。

“它像上一辆车那样容易驾驶吗?我不这么认为。它是否具备我们希望升级能带来的性能?我认为目前还没有。但这是朝着正确方向迈出的一步。
“在奥斯汀,我们应该看看能否继续巩固这一点,以及它是否还有更多性能,因为这对明年的研发方向至关重要。”
梅赛德斯还在新加坡冲刺赛周末开始时,为安东内利的赛车加装了新的前翼套件,不过在唯一一节练习赛后就被拆下了。
梅赛德斯很可能在奥斯汀为两辆赛车都使用最新套件
沃尔夫补充说,他预计两辆赛车都将在下周的美国大奖赛上使用更新的规格,但最终决定要等车队在奥斯汀之前做出。
“最新的情况是,我们可能想在奥斯汀启用新部件,”他说。
“两位车手都认为这在奥斯汀应该会产生积极效果,或者说应该会有好处,而且我认为就我们为明年学习而言,这是正确的方向。
托托·沃尔夫回击了有关梅赛德斯偏爱基米·安东内利而非乔治·拉塞尔的指责。
“再次说明,我之前就说过,等明天(比赛后的周一)那些聪明人聚在一起之后,以及明天之后,我们会看看我们想要推进的下一个版本会是什么。”

Mercedes boss Toto Wolff reveals latest verdict on car upgrades after 'unusual' specification split at Singapore GP
Kimi Antonelli ran Mercedes' upgraded car in Singapore while George Russell reverted to old one after team's Malaysia issues; Wolff thinks both drivers likely to use new-spec at next race; watch every session of the United States GP on October 23-25, live on Sky Sports F1
George Russell took over from Kimi Antonelli's engineer during the Sprint rain delay in Singapore to prank his team-mate!
Toto Wolff says it is "crucial" for the development of Mercedes' 2027 car that they understand the full extent of their recent upgrade's potential after a "step in the right direction" at the Singapore Grand Prix.
Mercedes took what Wolff admitted was the "unusual" step of running two different car specifications at the last race after troubles with the big car upgrade introduced onto both W17s at the previous round in Malaysia, the world championship leader's first major upgrade since May.
Kimi Antonelli ran the newer spec in Singapore, while George Russell reverted to the older package on a weekend he already knew he would start at the back of the Grand Prix grid owing to engine penalties.

Russell with the older package proved the quicker of the two drivers in the initial Sprint sessions before Antonelli, with the newer package, was then faster in main qualifying before finishing third in the Grand Prix, moving a significant step closer to winning the world title.
Antonelli expressed confidence afterwards that "we started to see the light at the end of the tunnel".
Reflecting on the split programme at the end of the weekend, Mercedes team principal Wolff said: "We made the unusual move in a cutting-edge technology business to have two different cars because we felt we need to accelerate our learning curve and that was good.
"Fundamentally, looking back at the race, I think that this new car needs a very different set-up philosophy than the previous car. This is what we're learning at the moment.
Highlights from the 2026 Singapore Grand Prix.
"Was it an easy car like the previous one? I don't think it was. Does it have the performance that we were hoping the upgrade would bring? I don't think so yet. But it was a step in the right direction.
"In Austin, we should see whether we can continue to consolidate that and whether it has more performance because it's crucial for the development direction for the next year."
Mercedes also added a new front wing to package on Antonelli's car at the start of the Singapore Sprint weekend, although this was taken off after the sole practice session.
Mercedes likely to run both cars with latest package in Austin
Wolff added that he expected that both cars would run the newer specification at next week's United States Grand Prix, pending a final decision by the team before Austin.
"The latest is that we probably want to run the new cars in Austin," he said.
"Both drivers think it should have a positive effect, or it should have a benefit, in Austin, and I think in terms of us learning for next year this is the right direction to go.
Toto Wolff hits back at accusations that Mercedes favour Kimi Antonelli over George Russell.
"Again, I'm saying before the clever groups have come together tomorrow [on Monday after the race] and after tomorrow, we'll see what the next iteration will be we want to go."
