Mercedes Adjusts Strategy Ahead of Singapore GP Amid Aerodynamic Challenges

Mercedes is making significant adjustments ahead of the Singapore Grand Prix, opting to test both its new and previous aerodynamic packages due to a disappointing performance in Malaysia.

After experiencing a drop in pace at the relocated Bahrain Grand Prix, team principal Toto Wolff has decided to split the garage for a direct comparison. One side will use the older aero package while the other will maintain the new upgrades, despite the limited practice time available during the Sprint weekend.

This strategy comes as the team seeks to understand their recent performance issues, with Wolff acknowledging the challenges of car set-up in the current conditions. The tight corners of the Marina Bay circuit are expected to help clarify the effectiveness of their updates, as the team aims to resolve the aerodynamic puzzle under pressure.
