Mercedes will run its latest update package on both cars at the United States Grand Prix, Toto Wolff says. He described Austin as a chance to respond after what he called difficult weekends in Malaysia and Singapore.

Wolff said Mercedes had worked hard to understand where it fell short in Malaysia and Singapore. He also said the field is very close and the team must keep moving forward to fight consistently at the front in the season's closing stages.

The United States Grand Prix begins another demanding triple-header, Wolff said. The team's priority, he said, is the weekend ahead: execute well, maximize its performance and take each race as it comes.
