Wolff: No guarantee of repeat F1 Brazilian GP winning form this weekend

Mercedes boss Toto Wolff says his team is taking nothing for granted about its potential in Formula 1’s Brazilian Grand Prix, despite winning the race last year.

The German manufacturer is still chasing its first victory of the 2023 campaign with rival Ferrari the only outfit that has so far managed to knock Red Bull off the top step of the podium this season.

But with its W14 having shown some promising pace thanks to a floor upgrade that arrived at the United States GP, and it being so strong at Interlagos 12 months ago, the squad has been singled out as a potential favourite this weekend.

But Wolff says that the strengths and weaknesses of cars are not necessarily the same this season as they were last, so there is little point in his squad believing that it has the package needed to come out on top.

Asked if he felt the W14 could be an even better prospect for Brazil than last year’s W13, Wolff said: “To be honest I don't know. I think we can see with all teams that there is a certain degree of correlation of last year's performance and this year.

“But there is not enough data to make that solid assumption, so I don't know. Both feet on the ground and let's see where we are at Interlagos.”
