F1 | Wolff: “It is not necessary to make the use of tokens public”

This aura of mystery continues around the Mercedes W12 and how the Anglo/German team spent its two tokens for the 2021 Formula 1 world championship. In the tests in Bahrain we saw a very nervous car, with which Hamilton is struggling to find the feeling Right. Bottas was a little better, despite the reliability problems on the first day given the gearbox failure after just a few laps. Some say that Mercedes has worked in the bottom area, remember this year designed by the Federation in such a way as to make the cars more nervous and difficult to drive compared to the very recent past.

“It is not necessary to make everything public – Wolff said. This is also to avoid an excess of news: I'm sure that during the tests the other cars didn't test with all the specifications of the first Grand Prix, it's part of the game. The new car fund? If I were to start on the aerodynamic advantages, I would probably give you the wrong information. However, I think it's fine, we just need to optimize it to make up for the lack of downforce due to the new regulations."
