Wolff says Mercedes cannot match rivals' F1 upgrade spending
Toto Wolff said Mercedes does not have the budget to develop its 2026 Formula 1 car as aggressively as McLaren and Ferrari. He contrasted Mercedes' more conservative upgrade approach with the recent gains made by both rival teams.
Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff said the team "hasn't got the money" to develop its 2026 Formula 1 car to the same extent as McLaren and Ferrari.
Wolff said McLaren and Ferrari have made significant progress in recent months by bringing a large number of upgrades to their cars. He noted that both teams have become multiple race winners.
By contrast, Mercedes has followed a more conservative upgrade plan, with fewer changes than its rivals.
