Mercedes Stays Perfect as Wolff Decries Starts and Rivals Gain Ground

Rival gains in Miami make Montreal the next measure of Mercedes’ lead.

Overview

  • Mercedes, which left Sunday’s Miami Grand Prix with a fourth straight win, faced renewed scrutiny as Toto Wolff called the team’s repeated poor starts “not acceptable.”
  • McLaren’s major Miami upgrade delivered a Sprint win for Lando Norris and a double podium, and the team plans more updates for Canada.
  • Red Bull replaced Max Verstappen’s steering rack and related parts during the break, and stronger qualifying pace in Miami suggested the fix worked despite his race-day spin.
  • Aston Martin said work with Honda to cut power‑unit vibrations let both cars finish a grand prix for the first time this season.
  • The FIA’s trial low‑power start detection returns in Montreal to curb dangerous bog‑down launches, as Mercedes readies its first major update and teams gauge if Miami gains hold.
