Mercedes F1 car tipped to look ‘quite different’ in 2023

Mercedes endured their worst F1 season since 2013 as they went from title-winners to the third-fastest team at the start of the sport’s neไw era of aerodynamic regulations. 

The German manufacturer spent much of the early part of the season trying to fix 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:porpoising and bouncing issues that hampered the performance of their troubled W13 and prevented168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Lewis Hamilton and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell from fighting for race wins.

Mercedes made some progress towards the end of the year but only had the pace to genuin📖ely challenge for victories at certain races, with Russell claiming the team’s only win of 2022 in Brazil. 

Speaking in Sky F1’s 2022 season review, Chandhoꦏk tipped Mercedes’ car to look the most different at pre-💮season testing in Bahrain. 

“They got the concept wrong, they’ve been very open𓄧 about it,” Chandhok said. 

“For me, one of the most intriguing things when we all ❀go to Bahrain pre-season testing next year, is what🍬 does the 2023 Mercedes look like? 

“Because👍 out of the cars that have run this year♌, they are the ones that will look quite different. 

"The Redꦉ Bull will be an evolution, the Ferrari will be an evolution, but the Mercedes needs to be quite different to get it to wor✱k.”

Wolff: Mercedes did not take a 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:‘stupid pill’ 

Asked how Mercedes failed to see the porpoising problem coming while other teams anticipated it, Wolff told the Beyond The Grid podcast: “Because we got𓆉 it wrong. Even the best people c꧒an get it wrong.

"My assumption of 🍌why a team would function - that I learned b🔥ack in the Williams days - is that you have to have the right infrastructure, the financial resource, good drivers, a powerful engine, the right organisation, and enough time to put it all together.

“These ingredients would make sure that you are competitive. Winning can be something else, and winning a championship is a different 🙈thing, but we have all of that.

“We haven’t suddenly taken a stupid pill [and gone from] winning the constructors’ championship last December and then in Mꩵarch being nowhere. 

“It is very easy - we got the concept wrong. We underestimatedဣ the effect 𝔉when running the car very low and others did a better job.

“Whether they kn꧟ew the effect from past days or they were simply more focused on this particular area of car behaviour, I don’t know.

“But in ✃the organisation, nobody is shy to say that we have done a bad job here. It is very easy🌳.

“There is no hiding, ๊there is no seeking for an explanation of how we ended up there. All of us are saying that we got this very wrong and others got it very right."
