Mercedes boss Toto Wolff says the Belgian GP represents “unfinished business”, as they look for a first win at legendary Spa-Francorchamps in three years.
Unusually by their relentless winning standards, the world champions have only won half the races at Spa in the hybrid engine era they have dominated – three victories and three race-day defeats – with Ferrari taking each of the last two victories.

Although the Scuderia’s form means a hat-trick for them is unlikely this time, Mercedes boss Toto Wolff is expecting the usual challenges and variables of the Belgian weekend to make the outcome far from a foregone conclusion.
“Our next race takes us to Spa where we haven’t won since 2017, so it feels like there’s unfinished business as we head to Belgium,” Mercedes boss Toto Wolff said.
“It’s an iconic track and one of the fans’ favourites, but finding the right set-up can be difficult because of the variety of characteristics; on the one hand you want as little drag as possible on the long straights, but on the other hand, you need a certain level of downforce to be quick through the corners.”
“It’s also forecast to be rainy in the Ardennes, which won’t make the job any easier.”
Mercedes impressively rebounded from the tyre blistering problems that let in Red Bull’s Max Verstappen at F1’s 70th Anniversary GP, which ended their winning start to 2020, by taking a dominant victory with Lewis Hamilton last time out at Barcelona.

“Winning in Spain was a great reward for all the smart work in the days before and it makes me very proud to see how this team just keeps raising the bar,” said the Mercedes team principal.
