SPIELBERG, Austria -- Mercedes has brought a significant aero upgrade to the Austrian Grand Prix in the hope of solidifying its advantage in the drivers' and constructors' championships.
After an engine upgrade saw Lewis Hamilton take a comfortable victory at last week's French Grand Prix, Mercedes will debut a new sidepod design as well as upgrades to the rear wing and mirror supports. The combination of the new parts represents the biggest single aero upgrade the team has brought this season and Hamilton is confident it will provide another step forward.
"I know they have been working hard," he said.
