Toto Wolff reveals new Mercedes F1 concept already in the wind tunnel
Mercedes started F1 2023 in disappointing fashion as Lewis Hamilton finished a distant fifth, over 50 seconds behind eventual race winner 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen.
While Mercedes꧋ have cured their porpoising issue, their current car simply lacks overall downforce relative to Red Bull and Aston Martin.
Reported by AMuS, Mercedes ar🤪e weighing up two new concepts, although they will have to make a decision quickly to save their season.
“It’s been done in the wind tunnel, but it’s not just about the sidepods or how the car looks from the outside,” he told ORF.
“We have to dig into the data and decide which direction to 🦄go in.”
With there being only two more races from now until the end of April following the cancellation of the Chineಌse Grand Prix, teams will have a lot of time to develop and bring new upgrades.
How q♈uickly Mercedes can introduce a new concept is unclear given that McLaren will 🙈do so in Baku on April 30.
The Woking team decided this in January - four months prior to next monthꦛ’s Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
Thus, Mercedes wi💖ll have to work quickly if they’re able to introduce it for Imola in the middle of May.
“We don't throw in the towel,” Wolff told AMuS. "The budget cap will not limit us.
“We just have to make the decision now in which direction we are going and then get the data ꦐto work.”
