Toto Wolff explains why Ferrari are faster: "We are already working on 2020"
F1 News
Toto Wolff has said that Mercedes have switched their attention to the 2020 season and has admitted that Ferrari now have the faster car. The Silver Arrows haven't had any updates recently but Ferrari have continued to try and improve their package.
"Ferrari is certainly taking some steps forward while we have been without updates for a while. We may have left something out there, but some of our results were also disappointing because of our strategy," Wolff told Motorsport.com.
Wolff has said that switching focus to next year was always the plan and that it should enable the German team to be competitive next year.
"This was indeed the plan, because we have to allocate all resources as well as possible," Wolff concludes.
Although Mercedes have switched their focus to 2020, they should not be written off for race wins during the rest of the 2019 F1 season. They still have a very fast car and Lewis Hamilton will be looking to win as many of the remaining races as possible.
