“We Won’t Have Any Problems”: Toto Wolff Dismisses $135,000,000 Roadblock to Give Glimmer of Hope to Lewis Hamilton Amid Recent Crisis

Evolution is the law of nature. This law also applies to Formula 1 and especially to the incredibly complicated machinery that drivers drive around the track. Teams usually introduce these changes to the car in the form of upgrades. However, to even the field financially, the FIA tightened the noose by introducing a spending cap. The $135 million cap for 21 races and $1.2 million per additional race limits the number of upgrades. However, amidst the struggling state of the W14, Mercedes has carefully planned their spending to give Lewis Hamilton a glimmer of hope.

Mercedes might be playing a masterstroke in the coming weeks by pooling all their budget to bring a massive upgrade to their car. As revealed by a Tweet, since the test in Bahrain, Mercedes has allocated all of its budget to manufacturing new components for the W14. The Mercedes boss has been teasing these upgrades for weeks now. Additionally, as quoted by the Tweet, Toto Wolff put the minds of the fans at ease as well.

“It will be possible to develop the new W14 even with the spending cap, as we haven’t introduced any updates to the current W14, so we won’t have any problems,” disclosed Wolff. (Translated by Google)

Breaching the cost cap became a massive issue in the 2022 season. However, the enterprising Mercedes team kept a 20/20 vision and will soon showcase their masterpiece.

When exactly can we expect the new and improved Mercedes W14? Well, the boss has set a deadline for that as well.

Toto Wolff has set an early deadline for the massive boost for Lewis Hamilton and Co.

Since the start of the 2022 season, Hamilton has suffered many frustrating outings on the track. However, as recent as the Miami GP, the frustrations still persist. However, if we are to trust the Mercedes boss, the sub-par performances will be a thing of past after the Emilia Romagna GP.

“I don’t want to change the goals yet. I always want to think that we are here to fight for a world championship, even if it doesn’t seem realistic. We are only at the beginning, and I want to keep the team motivated to do the best possible job. There are many innovations in the pipeline. The layout of the car will change at Imola and we will see what this step entails,” revealed Wolff.
