The Mercedes team showed a strong upward trend in results at the end of the first half of the season. Lewis Hamilton won in England and Belgium and George Russell won in Austria. Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff is therefore looking forward to the second half of the season and the Grand Prix at Zandvoort.
Looking ahead to the Dutch Grand Prix, Wolff agreed with the progress his team has made. "We are ready to race again at Zandvoort this weekend. Before the summer break, we built momentum with an improved car and stronger results. We want to continue that progress in the last 10 races of the season."

The Austrian does realise that the team is not quite where it wants to be yet. "We know we still have a lot to make up for. We are not yet able to compete for victory at every Grand Prix. However, we have made good steps in improving the W15's weaknesses and we will continue to work hard to get more. If we succeed, we will close the gap to the leaders in both championships,'' Wolff said.
The Mercedes team boss is looking forward to the race in the Netherlands, partly because of the fans. ''Zandvoort is a challenging circuit. With its sloping corners, high-speed sections and narrow layout, it has an old-fashioned feel. The passionate Dutch fans always create a great atmosphere. It is a good place to get back to work and we are excited about the challenges ahead for the rest of the season."
