Lewis Hamilton may soon get the car he wants to challenge Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc at the front of the grid with Toto Wolff claiming Mercedes have more “answers” from the Miami Grand Prix to help improve the W13. It’s been a frustrating season for the seven-time world champion so far with bad luck also costing him in a few races.

But the main issue has been with the W13 and its ongoing porpoising issues, which have prevented Mercedes from decreasing the ride height and running lower to the ground. Those problems continued at the Miami Grand Prix with both George Russell and Hamilton experiencing issues.

However, there were promising signs in the Friday practice session when Mercedes appeared to have corrected Russell’s car and he ran the quickest time in FP2. They were unable to repeat that set up for the weekend, but the signs were there that Mercedes were heading in the right direction.

There’s still a long way to go for Mercedes to put together a car capable of challenging for race wins and Hamilton returning to the podium. But Wolff admits the data Mercedes got from Miami has helped push the team in the direction with a subtle warning to Red Bull and Ferrari that they’re not out of the race just yet.
