Mercedes ‘need to respond’ to rivals’ progress – Wolff

Mercedes Team Principal Toto Wolff has announced that the team will introduce their first major upgrade package of the season at the upcoming Canadian Grand Prix. This decision follows a competitive performance in Miami, where rivals McLaren, Red Bull, and Ferrari showed significant progress, narrowing the gap to the Silver Arrows. Despite Kimi Antonelli currently leading the Drivers' Championship over George Russell, Wolff emphasizes the need for a response to maintain momentum. He maintains a measured outlook, noting that while the upgrades are crucial, the team remains focused on learning and steady execution throughout the long season ahead.
