Many of us remember Toto Wolff's disappointed expression and words after the pre-season tests and the Bahrain GP. Mercedes has not managed to improve on last year, therefore within the Imola GP will launch a new version of the W-14. The expected breakthrough should mainly concern aerodynamics.
Mercedes, the big disappointment – Aston Martin, the big surprise
Difficulty on difficulty, disappointing results. Despite the Both Mercedes and Aston Martin's power unit outfitting team, failed to outshine 'its satellite team'. Aston Martin also used the same wind tunnel to develop their car. At Mercedes, they don't want to waste time: the project will be revolutionized by the Imola GP.
The problem of aerodynamics: eyes on Aston Martin and Red Bull
"Therefore it is evident that Let aerodynamics be our problem" he has declared the team principal of the Mercedes. Problem that seems to be related to the change of technical director, from James Allison to Mark Elliott. It is also true that a director alone does not do aerodynamics, to paraphrase a well-known saying.
See the results of Aston Martin e Red Bull, the eyes of the team led by Toto Wolff are glued to their aerodynamics. Certainly not on that of the Ferrari.
Mercedes, the challenge can start with the new W-14
Mercedes fans and enthusiasts in general will be curious to see the changes that will be made to the W-14 there has been talk of replacing the very narrow sides, or size zero, with a more traditional aerodynamic configuration, inspired by those made by other teams. It will be a titanic undertaking, difficult with the season already underway and with the budget cap, and of which we cannot foresee all the possible consequences. We just have to wait for the Imola weekend, getting excited race after race.
