The German manufacturer has been encouraged by the step forward that has been delivered by the major update it first introduced at the Monaco Grand Prix.
A revised floor, new sidepods and different front suspension has delivered podium finishes for Lewis Hamilton in the last two races, and he battled Fernando Alonso hard in Canada last weekend on his way to finishing third.
But while encouraged by the improvements, Mercedes knows more is required to take the fight to Red Bull, which is why it is ready to unleash a package of developments prior to the summer break.
Team principal Toto Wolff said that next month's British GP is one of two races that the squad is aiming to deliver new parts to.
“We're bringing a larger one to Silverstone,” he said. “Then we should have another one before shutdown.
“It's just that the learnings have accelerated a lot since we changed some of the conceptual architecture. There should be decent steps coming in the next four races.”
Now Mercedes has seen the desired improvement from its Monaco upgrade, Wolff said the rate at which the team uncovers gains has improved considerably.
“I think we are understanding better the simulations, and that correlates with what we are seeing on track,” he explained.
“That's been a problem over the last one and a half years.
