Mercedes to chuck a useless F1 car part “in a bin” after failed experiment
After facing performance issues with their new rear suspension during recent races, Mercedes boss Toto Wolff humorously mentioned that the team would discard it due to its shortcomings.
The team achieved a 1-3 finish at the Canadian Grand Prix, but their performance declined in the European races after introducing a new rear-suspension setup at Imola.
George Russell excelled with four podium finishes in the initial six races, with Mercedes reverting to the old suspension layout before his return to the podium in Hungary.
The team acknowledged poor correlation with simulation tools as a factor in the delayed realization that the new rear suspension was not delivering as expected.
Mercedes is extensively analyzing the situation to ensure improvements not only for the ongoing season but also for future competitiveness in Formula 1.
