Stoffel Vandorn won the Formula E title with the works Mercedes team this season, but he also remains Mercedes’ reserve driver in F1. The team can experiment daringly simply because it has nothing to lose.
Stoffel Vandorn: “I’m not sure if a decision has been made yet on the direction we’re going in, creating a car for next year, but the team is already working on this project and developing a chassis concept.
I think this is one of the most important decisions that should be made as early as possible. As we can see, this season Mercedes is using a concept that is different from the approach of other teams, and the W13 car looks great, but the speed leaves a lot to be desired.
I think the main question now is, should we completely overhaul the design of the machine? Moreover, there is no time to lose, the next season will start quite soon. In addition, the team simply has nothing to lose and in this situation, at the end of the season, you can safely experiment. This will enable us to build a more efficient machine next year.
If there is one team that can handle such a task, I think it is Mercedes.”
