How many times has that been mentioned this season so far. If I had a £1 for every time I’d probably be able to retire and live comfortably.
Mentioned by who? The team? Or the hype train created by the press every race week? If you're listening to the team, then you'd have £3: Barcelona for the porpoising fix, Silverstone for performance, and the phase 3 upgrade for Spa that's supposedly going to show us what the engine can do. Of course all teams will be doing this, so any dramatic increase will be at least partially obfuscated. Keep in mind, a huge upgrade doesn't necessarily mean you're going to leapfrog the competition when they're trying to do huge upgrades too. Merc has been notably transparent from the start on when to expect big upgrades and they've stuck by what they've said.
Beyond that, Merc has said they'll be adding a notable amount of upgrades between now and the end of the season, but those upgrades won't be particularly visible.
