Wolff quantifies the Mercedes car development time loss
Although the porpoising struggles suffered by Mercedes at the beginning of the season now seem to be a distant memory, the team is still feeling the ramifications. It took months for the team to understand the issues they were seeing on track, problems that did not appear during wind tunnel testing.The Mercedes boss said:
“We’ve maybe lost eight to 10 months in terms of development because we couldn’t figure out what was wrong. So, there’s definitely a challenge.” When comparing Mercedes’s 2022 season to Red Bull’s, Wolff acknowledges that Red Bull “will carry over some of their sweetness in the car,” over the following seasons.With their run of seven consecutive constructors’ world championships now over, Mercedes must rebuild to get back to their winning ways. However, Wolff confesses that it could be a while before the Silver Arrows are the top team once more.
“We’re playing the long game here, all of us. Both drivers are playing the long game, the team. The judge around the team, of performance, is not based on a single year or weekend. It’s how we have been able to win championships over the long term.”
