Mercedes made it clear after the Bahrain GP that it must change its car concept to become a race-winning force in F1 again. So how is the team getting on with this task? Technical director Mike Elliott explains:
Mercedes Formula 1 technical director Mike Elliott says the team is looking at all areas as it evaluates a change of concept for the W14 car.
“So the engineers are busy looking at aerodynamics, they are looking at the shape of the car, things like the sidepod geometry, the floor geometry, have we missed a trick? “We’re looking at the mechanical set-up of the car, are there things there that we are missing? What else can we bring to the car that is going to add performance? And we’re trying to do that as fast as we possibly can, because we want to get back to the front.
“Obviously, Bahrain was a real reality check and to find ourselves in the position we find ourselves in, not being competitive, was a real disappointment,” he said. “A disappointment for the whole team.
