Mercedes explain why it will bring further upgrades to W14 F1 car
Mercedes, after a disappointing performance last season, had hopes of contending for the title again this year, but they have yet to win a race in 2023. They abandoned their ‘zeropod’ concept early on and returned to a more conventional bodywork solution. The team believes that the architecture of their launch-spec car has hindered their competitiveness and plans to switch their philosophy for next season to catch up to Red Bull. Although any further updates to the current car won’t carry over to next year, Mercedes is still focused on improving their development for 2024. Hamilton has been vocal about the rear downforce issues they’re facing, and the team is open to the drivers’ feedback and exploring new concepts to regain their position at the front.
