The key to Mercedes reversing its slow-start F1 trend
Mercedes experienced challenges with their W13 car in 2022 due to porpoising caused by surface bumps and ride height concessions. However, George Russell’s victories in Brazil encouraged them to stick with their unique car architecture. For 2023, the team designed the W14 with a higher ride height but struggled to consistently keep the car within its ideal operating window. This led to large swings in performance and changes in setup. However, since the summer break, Mercedes has shown improved consistency in their setup, indicating that they have turned a corner in their learning and experience with the car. This has given them a good direction for next year as well.
