2023 season archived and moving on to the next one. In home Mercedes we are thinking and aiming for 2024, following a year - the one just ended - not particularly positive. Despite the second place achieved in the constructors' championship, in fact, the team principal of the Brackley team is Toto Wolff he cannot be satisfied, especially following the last races of 2023 which saw a Mercedes in enormous difficulty.
Mercedes, Wolff: “2024? We will change the concept of the car"
By choosing to give continuity to the project started with the W13 in 2022, a mistake was made error. Nowadays, little can be said about this as they have guaranteed it several times the same Mercedes protagonists (With theElliott's farewell which also speaks quite clearly). To underline this stance even more, specifying the numerous changes that will take place starting from 2024, Wolff himself revealed some small innovations on the next car: "We are changing the concept. We are moving completely away from what we had in place for the chassis and weight distribution. Literally, every component that is changed because we believe that only by doing so we could have an opportunity. Certain, we could also be wrong, therefore, between not getting what we expect, catching up and taking a big step and competing in the front, anything is possible".
“Beat Red Bull? How to climb Mount Everest”
In Brackley, therefore, they are already working for next season. The desire, almost useless to specify, is clearly to try to beat Red Bull. After all, if your name is Mercedes, starting the season with the goal of victory becomes almost an obligation: “There is a Mount Everest from climb Wolff admitted. to reach Red Bull. I have no doubt that the McLaren will be in the mix next year, and perhaps Aston Martin and others. We must leave no stone unturned, which we do in Brixworth and Brackley. And as hard as it is to remember that it's only P2, it's also a great, great opportunity to come back and fight for the stars".
