Because Toto wolff stated that they are also at Mercedes stopped developing this year’s race car - even though it’s the technical director James allison denied - but so Christian horner, team boss Red Bull as well as Masashi yamamoto from Honda do not believe the statement of the Austrian.
But it is true that it is this year for teams very much important find the right one balance. It is still a must this season maintain performance, especially if you’re fighting for the title, but on the other hand there are brand new regulations in the season 2022. And on top of that, the team has to master it under a watchful eye budget ceilings. Mercedes is therefore now saying it will be stopped development this year’s race car, but the sporting director Honda he doesn't believe it. “I have the same opinion as Christian Horner. I don't think Mercedes will do that. They say they’re looking forward to next year, but with so many employees, they don’t even need to all focus on 2022," so Yamamoto for a Japanese portal as-web.jp.
Japanese continues: “I think they will continue to develop this season and they will have another group working in 2022. I don’t think a top team can just switch to next season.“In words Yamamoto is all together still so close and that Sunday 's race in Austria the case is not over yet. “I'm looking forward to that race. Perez had no luck with fourth place. This weekend the tires will be softer and we will work hard with the team to continue successfully and have another good race,”He concluded Japanese.
