Following an impressive podium result in the British GP, Mercedes says it is 'no longer fighting to survive' with its troubled W13 F1 car and can now shift focus towards pure performance.
Mercedes says it is no longer"fighting to survive" with its current W13 Formula 1 car, as its British Grand Prix updates appear to have opened up its true potential.The German car manufacturer introduced a series of changes for last weekend’s Silverstone race aimed at building on the progress it made with a first development push in Spain.
“Barcelona was useful for us because we had something that wasn't bouncing around on every circuit that we went to. But clearly a recent run of three street tracks highlighted another weakness and, to be honest, we're just going through it: looking for the problems, and then we'll try and apply our engineering skills to solving them.
“In terms of the concept of the car, we've actually changed our car an awful lot since it first ran,” he said. “It's behaving very, very differently to when it first ran. Even though if you look at it from a distance it looks quite similar to what we had at round one aerodynamically, it is quite a different beast now.”
