🗣 “It's a much calmer, more stable platform to work with than the W13” Mercedes F1 chief engineer Andrew Shovlin is happy with W14 after the first day of F1Testing, and find out what Lewis Hamilton thinks too 👇
Trackside engineering director Andrew Shovlin said: “The performance picture is always blurred after the first day so it's impossible to say where we stand, but we've already identified several key areas where we can find some performance.
“The next two days are going to be just as packed as today, as we're squeezing every bit of learning we can into the programme. Hopefully the car continues to run like clockwork, and we can make the most of the remaining track time.”Hamilton, who ran in the afternoon session of the opening day, echoed Shovlin’s thoughts that the team needed to keep its head down despite the early potential shown.
