In two weeks Mercedes will start an extensive modernization of the car in Imola. In Miami, team boss Toto Wolff was critical of the qualities of the current W14…
Toto Wolff: “We have a bad car. Bad at everything. This is the pace and efficiency, and the lack of understanding why it just stops working at some point. And this misunderstanding greatly complicates our work, makes it unpleasant.
We want to change the concept, create a new foundation, take question marks out of the equation. We look at other body solutions that are more traditional than ours and that can change the airflow around the car. Now I understand it was worth doing 12 months ago.
It’s been 12 months since our last show in Miami. And this year the car has only gotten a little bit better. Yes, now she doesn’t suffer from straight line build up, but this is the only thing that has gotten better. The car isn’t fast enough and we can’t figure out why it slows down from one session to the next. This is not acceptable”.
