Mercedes F1's final 2022 upgrade package in Austin will be focused on next year, says Andrew Shovlin
“It's our final step of aero development and that will hopefully give us a bit more performance,” Shovlin said in a“But importantly with every step, we are learning more and more and that learning we can carry into next year.
“Now, our race pace has been reasonably strong. If we can make a step, hopefully we can get into the fight with the Ferraris and the Red Bulls, but qualifying for us is the really difficult one to predict at the moment. “They have done some resurfacing so hopefully those issues with the bumps are a bit less. But what's very hard this year is to really know where you are going to be on the circuit before you've gone there.
“We decided to stay at our highest downforce level. Part of that decision was that it was actually giving us the best lap times in the race condition where we were going to get high degradation in the dry, but we had also seen this rain that was coming in on Sunday, and we felt that in a wet race that might be a benefit.
