Sky Sports F1 pundit Karun Chandhok has predicted that Mercedes’ 2023 car will look “quite different” after getting their 2022 concept 'wrong'
Asked how Mercedes failed to see the porpoising problem coming while other teams anticipated it, Wolff told the"My assumption of why a team would function - that I learned back in the Williams days - is that you have to have the right infrastructure, the financial resource, good drivers, a powerful engine, the right organisation, and enough time to put it all together.
“These ingredients would make sure that you are competitive. Winning can be something else, and winning a championship is a different thing, but we have all of that. “We haven’t suddenly taken a stupid pill [and gone from] winning the constructors’ championship last December and then in March being nowhere.
“It is very easy - we got the concept wrong. We underestimated the effect when running the car very low and others did a better job. “Whether they knew the effect from past days or they were simply more focused on this particular area of car behaviour, I don’t know.“There is no hiding, there is no seeking for an explanation of how we ended up there. All of us are saying that we got this very wrong and others got it very right."
