Toto Wolff reveals that Mercedes have made “big steps” and “unlocked potential” of Lewis Hamilton and George Russell’s struggling W14
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell finished in third-place at the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:F1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix while 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton was P5, although he 🌺remains downbeat about his inability to coax ꦓperformance out of his 2023 machinery.
But,🔯 after Wolff promised the entire concept of the W14 must be reconsidered, he has now given details of how the car is set to be majorly improved.
“We’re making♛ really big steps at the moment with our research and development, with our understanding in the wind tunnel,” he said.
He emphasised: “That is really big steps!”
"We just needed to have the confirmation in Bahrain that we got it wrong, now we ha🉐ve that. And that’s why I would nev♐er write off anything.
“Is it realistic🌌 after today’s performance [in Saudi Arabia qualifying] that we can talk about the world champion𓆏ship? No, it’s not, you’re a fool if you think that way.
“Equally, it’s motor racing. You must never give up and if we continue to do the big steps that we’ve already done in the last 10 days, then I think we’ll come to a stage where 🌃we’re really able to race for wins."
He expla🐼ined about the W14’s impending advancements: "Big steps, in relative performan🔥ce to where we are even now.
“The kind of gains that are coming in our R&D and then in aero are much bigger than🌄 we've had over a long time.
"We've unlocked some potential because we simply💝 look at things fr๊om different angles now.
“We have a different perspective because of our learnings of the Bahrain test and t🦩he Bahrain race.
"So there was no step back🔯. On the contrary, it was immediately two steps forward."
Wolff previously confirmed to Sky🐼 that Mercedes had settled on “one design philosophy” after a tense meeting post-♐Bahrain.
"I think t🅺hat the car is going to look very different in five, six or seven races based on the decisions that we have take꧅n and the development direction that we have embarked on,” he claimed.
