Can Mercedes just mimic the design of the Red Bull car and hope that works? Toto Wolff, team manager, said they would make every effort to resume winning races on a regular basis.
It is questionable that Mercedes’ use of the zero sidepod concept has shown to cause the squad more problems than it has benefits.
As a result of the increased reliability of the Mercedes power unit, they have only had one race win in the past 12 months but still have 16 podium finishes.
Toto Wolff, the team manager, has previously explained the necessity to change the car design after confessing at the start of the season that they had made a mistake, but what will that implies?
One possibility is to follow Red Bull’s example; according to Wolff, the team has no “dogmatism” on whether they adopt a rival’s idea.
In an interview with the media, including RacingNews365.com, Wolff stated, “I think at this stage we have no dogmatism of how the car should look like.
“It just needs to be the quickest possible race car and if that car looks like a Red Bull, I don’t care. It’s just needs to be quick.”
Wolff promises advancements
The Azerbaijan Grand Prix will see the introduction of Mercedes’ first significant update, which they describe as “visible modifications.”
According to Wolff, the crew has been working to enhance the vehicle and reverse their fortunes by flipping it “upside down.”
“It’s so difficult to talk about the concept. It is all of the aerodynamic surfaces that are visible from the leading edge all the way to the diffuser and the beam wing,” he explained.
“There’s massive amounts on the floor with a ground effect car and then there’s many more architectural things that are necessary to give you the bodywork that you think is most efficient.
“It [W14] is literally being turned upside down at the moment and there’s a lot of goodness that we see.”
