Toto Wolff has provided hope to Lewis Hamilton that he can win an unprecedented eighth world title with Mercedes by insisting his team will "get there" in their quest to reel in Red Bull.
The 2023 F1 season is only six races old, but already the outcome looks inevitable with Max Verstappen taking the chequered flag four times after his latest win in Monaco. The other two Grand Prix's have gone the way of his nearest challenger, teammate Sergio Perez, while the duo are already 129 points clear in the Constructors' race.
The Silver Arrows, meanwhile, have again struggled for pace, although arrived at the iconic Monegasque venue with new upgrades on their W14 cars. Wolff has spoken favourably about the adaptations, but neither driver finished on the podium with Hamilton fourth after recovering from a crash in free practice, and George Russell fifth.
