Mercedes director Toto Wolff has warned Red Bull not to expect to enjoy the same domination they did in Italy last time out, believing a shift in the competitive order is coming.
The Austrian is hoping Singapore’s high downforce requirements will mark a return to form for Mercedes who have struggled at the last two events.
“This weekend’s race in Singapore begins a gruelling series of seven races in ten weekends for the team and we are all focused on regaining some of the momentum we lost at the past two races,” he said.
“We expect the return to maximum downforce configuration to suit our car and we may see another shift in the competitive order between the teams.”
Wolff confirmed further upgrades would be coming for the race.
“We will bring new developments to the car once again for this race and we are all focused on maximising the opportunities for both Lewis and Nico, in order to re-establish ourselves in second position in the constructors’ standings.”
