Not only Formula One fans saw an advance by McLaren during the weekend of the British Grand Prix compared to other weekends, but colleagues also saw it happen. Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff and Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton consider the performance of customer team McLaren impressive.

The Mercedes team boss was full of praise for the car of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri. "McLaren had the better car. With the hard tyre, to hold us off with the soft. Straight line speed. It will be interesting to see on the twisty circuits, Budapest. Good to seee it’s possible on how quickly you can catch up. We’ve got to go for the Red Bulls," Wolff told Sky Sports.

Hamilton also sees that the car from customer team McLaren is a stable car. "The McLaren is proof of their direction. Impressive how quick they were in high speed. Our long run is great, as soon as we have the rear end that they have, then we’ll be on our way," said the seven-time world champion.
