Didnt Toto say in media interviews trackside in the last few races that they knew where their design had failed them and the direction they had took for next season (2023)?
Early January they were saying the car loos identical to the W13 in the wind tunnel, but with a whole new aero map.
Now 5 weeks down the line its seems the tables have turned on their heads at Merc.
that was before the winter break and news sites keep making the same "new articles" with old stuff
But if Toto was saying that their direction was decided before the end of last season, and now they appear to be in a huge predicament with overtime, drivers not seeming fully happy and possible delays, then something has to have changed or gone on.
If they understood the car in early January, which looked identical visually to last year, then what has changed in the 5 weeks to throw a huge panic reported out in the media?? Do you think they will have vastly changed their concept with 5-7weeks until 1st test and effectively the start of the season? Seems a bit unplausible if you ask me.
