Mercedes say they won't be copying any rivals in order to get back to the top of the F1 mountain.
Copying rivals a ‘quick fix’ for Mercedes, but goes against their philosophyWhile Andrew Shovlin concedes copying a rival team’s sidepod design wold have been a “quick fix” for Mercedes, you don’t win World titles “by copying everyone else’s design”.
While Ferrari went with baby baths, Red Bull with a sharp undercut, Mercedes all but erased their sidepods in a design that was dubbed the ‘zero-pod’.The Brackley squad’s early season form was hampered by porpoising with pundits suggesting the zero-pod wasn’t helping with that,It was only after the team got the bouncing under control that they were able to work at developing the car, Mercedes the most improved team in the second half of the championship.
“The goal for us though was always to try and understand it ourselves and learn and find our own path, because if you want to win, and you want to win races and World Championships, you don’t get there by copying everyone else’s design. “So back in Imola, Jeddah, Bahrain, all those early races, the car was bouncing really badly at high speed. And we managed to get a really good handle on that.
