The Mercedes driver shared that he'd ask for answers from the team and discuss the issues in the meeting scheduled during the week after the race.Many labelled it as a crisis meeting, but Toto Wolff shared that it was just another regular meeting. Coming into the 2025 Hungarian GP, Mercedes decided that the suspension upgrade brought by the team at Imola didn't work as expected and reverted to a previous iteration.According to Motorsports reporter Kemal Sengul, Toto Wolff has revealed that Mercedes has completed the development of the W16 and will not be bringing any more updates to the car. Instead, the team will focus on optimizing the current car and the setups.“Everything is geared towards next year. Now we know that we have a more stable platform,” said Toto Wolff.Toto Wolff also suggested that the team and all the resources will now be shifted to focus on the 2026 car.

Mercedes boss Toto Wolff stated that the new suspension for the Emilia Romagna GP led to some issues, and reverting to the older suspension has given the team a stable platform. Wolff said, via F1's official website:"I think that we tried to solve a problem with an Imola upgrade, with a mechanical upgrade. That may have not solved an issue but it made something, let something else creep into the car and that was an instability that basically took all confidence from the drivers and it took us a few races to figure that out.“Obviously, also misled a little bit by the Montreal win, think maybe that's not so bad and we came to the conclusion it needs to go off, it went off and the car is back to solid form,” added Wolff.Mercedes sits 3rd in the Constructors' championship, just 24 points behind Ferrari. McLaren has run away and leads with 559 points.
