Mercedes spends all 7 tokens for Monza upgrade

Mercedes could move yet another step ahead of its closest challenger Ferrari this weekend at Monza.

Mercedes could move yet another step ahead of its closest challenger Ferrari this weekend at Monza.

Maurizio Arrivabene is playing down Ferrari's chances of mounting a winning challenge at the high-speed Autodromo, and it appears he has good reason.

Mercedes has confirmed that it is introducing a scheduled new specification of its 'power unit' this weekend, featuring all seven remaining in-season development 'tokens'.

Ferrari also has a new-spec engine for Monza, but it has been upgraded to the tune of only 3 tokens.

"I'm sure Monza will suit our car," said Mercedes' Nico Rosberg.
