Mercedes boss Toto Wolff says his team will turn the factory "upside down" in order to get more power out of their W09 car to try and maintain their push for the world title...
Lewis Hamilton came from behind both Ferrari drivers to win an enthralling Italian Grand Prix.
Hamilton's win was down to a brilliantly crafted tactical drive by Mercedes but they also got very lucky with Sebastian Vettel's woes in the first lap.
Wolff is determined for his team to get even more out of their car for the Singapore Grand Prix this weekend despite their excellent form recently.
"It shows that the racing happens on Sunday," Wolff said. "I'm very proud of the work the team have done. All the engine guys and the chassis guys from Spa to Monza.

"We have understood the car better, we have understood the tyres better. We've added some performance and even if (in qualifying) we didn't show it because we couldn't qualify on pole, I felt that we'd done some good work.
"I would have also said that if we hadn't won. Nevertheless, we didn't have the quickest car but (in the race) we did. We had a reliable car, we had a car that was good on the tyres. There was no blistering on our tyres, unlike the Ferrari, and brilliant execution from both drivers and the team.
"We will give it everything in Singapore and all of the remaining races. We will turn the whole factories in Brixworth and Brackley upside down to extract performance, and go to Singapore with the aim of doing the best."
