Toto Wolff has admitted Mercedes are close to the cost cap limit

"We are all trying to stay within the cost cap. We had a serious accident with the Kimi in Monza. Then last week the second time with George and this weekend again.

"We have a new underbody for him for Brazil but we are working at the limit.

"The only thing we have agreed on is that we are not driving for the championship and that means it's not always about having the latest part on the car."
