Mercedes says the F1 cost cap won’t hold back its plans for a “fundamental” overhaul of its 2024 car 🪙 Full story ⬇️
The German manufacturer has been encouraged by a recent upgrade package to its W14 that appears to have helped it close the gap to the front.
Such a significant step is not easy in F1’s cost cap era, with teams constantly having to juggle development spending against the strict financial limits.boss Toto Wolff has revealed that his squad has implemented a thorough analysis of its cash flow, and says it is well on track to do what it wants for the W15 without needing to worry about over-spending.
“It follows the trend of spending during all of the year and what we've done is basically allocated resource to various projects. “The good thing is that we are constantly learning about what the car is doing. There are going to be some fundamental design changes for next year, but it's not that we're building stuff. It's more what are we simulating – and that is not measured in money. It’s teraflops or wind tunnel hours.”Motorsport ImagesWhile Mercedes has unleashed some good performance gains from the W14, the team is well aware that there are some key areas that are lacking.
