Gary Anderson's take on the upgrade Mercedes seems unsure of

Mercedes introduced its first major upgrade package of the 2026 Formula 1 season at the Canadian Grand Prix sprint weekend in Montreal, but team principal Toto Wolff expressed uncertainty about whether it delivered the expected performance gain. Despite the doubts, the team locked out the front row for both races, with George Russell winning the sprint and Kimi Antonelli winning the grand prix after Russell retired while they were running 1-2. Technical expert Gary Anderson analysed the upgrade, noting Mercedes held a pace advantage of at least three-tenths of a second per lap in race conditions, though judging its true effectiveness was complicated by the sprint format and tricky conditions.
