Mercedes say they will not be “clinging on to any concepts” as they prepare for a complete revamp with their 2024 F1 car.
"Whilst you might see different comments in the press, the two of them are very aligned on where the weaknesses are, and where we need to improve it. We can see the GPS from other cars and that all ties in. So, you can build a picture of where you need to develop.
"And we're certainly not clinging on to any concepts that we have had before. We're very open-minded. We've had a pretty chastening couple of years, and we are a team that's working very hard to try and get back to the front.”And Shovlin confirmed Mercedes are planning considerable changes for their 2024 challenger.
"We are changing the car quite considerably for next year, but whether or not we can solve all the issues that we've got on the handling, that will depend on a number of projects delivering," he explained. "Those projects are underway and they're not complete. We've got some good directions to try and improve that.
"The car will be different. We've made a lot of changes to it, but it's very early in the development of a new car to be able to say, we've got it sorted."
