Mercedes knew something was off with the W13 as early as their Silverstone pre-season filming day. F1
Mercedes reveal first signs of W13 problems came on pre-season filming dayMercedes trackside engineering director Andrew Shovlin admitted the team first noticed issues with their car when it first ran, at their pre-season shakedown at Silverstone in February.
It took Mercedes a significant portion of the year to rectify the issue, with team principal Toto Wolff having admitted on several occasions that the team took the wrong direction in the way they tried to run the car so close to the ground. “We then went for three days in Barcelona and the car was not that competitive, but we were expecting a big update that we were going to bring to Bahrain, and that was the point that we realised we had a serious issue at that Bahrain test, where we put the update kit on and it simply didn’t make the car go quicker.
Russell was able to lead home a Mercedes one-two at Interlagos for the team’s only win of the year at a standout weekend in Brazil, as a culmination of the work that had gone in behind the scenes at Brackley and Brixworth to iron out the issues with the W13.
