2022 was a lean F1 season for MercedesAMGF1. But mattkewF1 reveals why the team is confident it can dig itself out of the hole it found itself in this year. Feature:
The W13 proved unlucky for some, but not in the way Mercedes had hoped. The car chalked a sole pole and grand prix win apiece to represent its builder’s leanest Formula 1 campaign in a decade. For the eight-time constructors’ champion so accustomed to success, its latest embarrassment of riches instead arrived with a litany of performance problems that still weren’t fully resolved come the Abu Dhabi finale.
This regression coincided with Red Bull rediscovering its double-title-winning form upon the return of ground-effects to F1. While Adrian Newey and his design department must contend with a 25% slash in windtunnel time over the coming 12 months, the seismic rule change with the potential to reset the competitive order has been and gone. During the next few seasons of comparative aerodynamic stability, there’s good reason to expect Red Bull to build on its recent 17-race-winning pomp.
