Mercedes to launch ‘ambitious’ F1 sprint plan with Miami GP upgrades confirmed

Having gone the wrong direction with set-up in China, Mercedes will be going all guns blazing into the Miami Sprint.

In previous years of the Sprint format, this wouldn’t have been possible – the parc ferme regulations meant car set-ups were locked in place from after first practice, with the teams not permitted to make changes at any point thereafter in a weekend. “It’s one of the truisms of F1, it is a learning race and although you have a factory full of tools, you have a load of computational power, a load of people who are thinking about it, there is no place to learn about the car better than with the car at the track doing what it’s designed to do.

“We face the enjoyment of another sprint weekend with this second go of having two bites of the cherry and we definitely learnt during this weekend that if you’re going to be ambitious, be ambitious in the sprint race and then tune it down for the main race rather than the opposite way around,” he said.
