The team finished second in the Constructors’ Championship last season, but failed to achieve a single victory and the team’s drivers regularly criticized the W14 car. Mercedes boss Toto Wolff said the team took risks in creating a car for the 2024 season, changing the current concept.
“We are changing the concept of the car,” said Toto Wolff in Abu Dhabi. – We have completely moved away from the current concept of chassis layout, weight distribution and airflow. Almost every part changes, which gives us an opportunity. But we can make mistakes, so there are risks.
I’m skeptical, but the mentality of the team is to always move forward and never give up. I’ve never been optimistic about anything in my life. This may make me seem unhappy, but this approach has always helped me meet expectations and perform better.
I believe that we are never good enough, so now I have mixed feelings. On the one hand we took second place in the constructors’ championship, but on the other hand we lost first place.”
