🗣️'The car got better and better and then you start to question the concept of the car less than you probably should.' Toto Wolff says Mercedes' 2022 gains created a 'perfect storm' as the team was less inclined to doubt its flawed F1 car concept ⬇️
Asked by Autosport to detail those crunch talks, Wolff said they had proved to be an"interesting process" as Mercedes realised its ability to limit porpoising on its troubled W13 car had given it false hope about how far the team could progress.
Wolff said:"There are many big and many good meetings happening in the team. It's quite an interesting process because we had the perfect storm last year. "The car got better and better and then you start to question the concept of the car less than you probably should."Now we have to prove that we are not happy where we've landed. We're, overall, not happy about the amount of downforce, the mechanical balance. All of it. It never comes alone.
"All these meetings are giving us clarity and more focus on where we need to tackle in order to turn this around quick." That sentiment tallies with Russell, who on Thursday ahead of this weekend's Saudi Arabian GP commented that his win in Brazil in 2022 had led the team down a"bit of a wrong path".Photo by: Mark Sutton /
