No stupid pills were consumed at Mercedes, they simply got the W13 concept wrong, says Toto Wolff. F1
‘Mercedes didn’t suddenly take a stupid pill, we got the W13’s concept wrong’Toto Wolff says after eight years of winning the Constructors’ Championship, Mercedes didn’t “suddenly take a stupid pill” when designing the W13, they simply “got it wrong”.
It wasn’t enough to see them fight for the championship titles, the team only breaking their victory duck at the penultimate race of the season when George Russell won in Sao Paulo.. “I think even the best people can get it wrong. “But we haven’t suddenly taken a stupid pill, winning the Constructor’ Championship last December and then in March being nowhere is very easy. We got the concept wrong.
“When you look at the narrow sidepod concept, which had absolutely nothing to do with the car not performing, I’m proud of how we came about in finding the design and putting it on the car.“A power unit that has really done us well throughout the season and reliability was great too.
