Toto Wolff "looking forward to the new season"

Toto Wolff is looking forward to the start of the 2020 season and is hoping that Mercedes can continue their domination of the sport. They also have sustainability goals and will hope that in 2020 they can top the Championship whilst also leading in other areas as well. 

"We've had a very busy winter; not only did we develop, test and build a new car, we've also signed new principal partner INEOS and announced a bold commitment for sustainability," Wolff said. 

"It's finally time go racing again and we're looking forward to the new season. The team has worked very hard to build a new car and we're excited to see what it can do when it's driven in anger.

"We managed to get through most of our programme as planned at the winter tests; however, we faced some reliability issues that we needed to resolve. We're glad that we encountered these issues in testing rather than at a race weekend as we could work on fixing them without any penalties. The new season will be exciting to watch both on-track and away from it as everything we do this year will have a knock-on effect for our competitiveness in the future.

"We face the challenge of the biggest technical changes our sport has ever seen combined with a budget cap, so the work that we do this year will determine the start to 2021. This makes the 2020 season a massive challenge - a challenge that everyone in Brixworth and Brackley is looking forward to."

Mercedes are set to dominate the grid once again in 2020 and their new DAS system shows that they are still on top of their game. Hopefully, other teams have closed the gap but we will have to see when the lights go out this weekend in Australia.
