The French Grand Prix was very successful for Mercedes. For the first time in a long time there were finally two Mercedes cars on the podium again. Toto Wolff looks back on the race in Le Castellet very positively but remains realistic for Hungary.

Wolff says it has been encouraging to score so many points and get everything out of it. Yet the Austrian is also realistic: "We know there is much work still to do. The gap to the leaders on a single lap persists and we struggle more at the start of stints."

Reliability

The Mercedes team boss continued: "Our reliability was good once again, and both Lewis and George were on strong form, to deliver a double podium."

Wolff now turns his attention to Hungary, which is a very different circuit: tight, twisty and bumpy, almost the opposite of Paul Ricard. "It's hard to predict how we will fare because our expectations this year haven't always matched up to reality, in terms of which tracks suit the W13."

Milestone

Mercedes is therefore highly motivated to achieve another maximum result. "It also marks our 250th Grand Prix with our title partners, PETRONAS, which is a brilliant milestone."
