Fending off F1 competitors(like a refocused Ferrari, a returning McLaren Honda and a Infiniti Red Bull team that's been hurt in its ego), and kicking the highnies of fellow German manufacturers in DTM.

in fact Totto Wolff recognized their DTM problems to keep it fair, from a financial point of view, to Motorsport Total: "Motorsport is a tough business, because permanently, the benefit will be evaluated. It must match. This is the environment in which we operate. There is an economic reality and, as responsible for the manufacturer I represent, I will consider it in all decisions, nothing more, nothing less."

"We need an additional deployment team and more resources. Moreover, we are discussing just how we can manage it the best possible way. A lot of teams have applied, really good teams with whom we have worked together in the past. We want the best value for money. A decision will be made in the coming weeks.", he added.

As well as expanding their DTM involvement to what has been agreed with fellow manufacturers, Mercedes needs to make a step forward in terms of performance. From the start of the 2014 season, it was clear that the C-Coupé DTM was behind its competitors. Still, it managed to achieve three wins, thanks to Christian Vietoris in Oschersleben, Robert Wickens in Norisring and Pascal Wehrlein in Lausitzring.

Looks like it will be a winter filled with wörk, for Mercedes, but that's just the way they like it.
