Toto Wolff calls on Mercedes to 'turn factories upside down' in pursuit of performance

Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff says his team needs to turn its factories upside down in order to keep Ferrari at bay for the remaining seven races of the season.

Mercedes currently leads the drivers' standings with Lewis Hamilton by 30 points and the constructors' championship by 25 points, but has fallen behind Ferrari when it comes to outright performance.

Lewis Hamilton won the last round in Italy, but it was on a track that has witnessed Mercedes domination since 2014 and only after Ferrari had locked out the front row of the grid on Saturday. The next round of the season takes place in Singapore -- a track where Mercedes has struggled for performance in recent years -- and Wolff is aware of the challenge facing his team.
