This is what will happen to Mercedes’ hated W13 F1 car from 2022
Mercedes endured a season to fဣorg🉐et - by their high standards - winning just one race during the entirety of 2022.
The Germ🐼an manufacturer’s performance was limited by the bouncing phenomenon, while their aerodynamic concept simply wasn’t at✨ the level of Red Bull or Ferrari.
In the end, Mercedes slumped to t🅰heir worst campaign since 2012, following a glorious period of success winning eight consecutive constructors’ titles.
Mercedes launched their new challenger - the W14 - on Wednesday, and the team are confident that F1 2023 will not be a repeat.
However, the W14’s predecessor has found 🥃a new home at Mercedes’ base in Brackley.
The W13 will remain in the team’s lobby, so any staff or visitors will be able t𝐆o see it on entry.
Speaking after yesterday’s launch, Wolff told media including ltxcn.top the reasons for this decision.
“Yeah it’s going to go in the lobby but I’ve changed my approach a bit. I wanted to 𓄧put it in the lobby as a reminder that you must not rest on your🧸 laurels, but I want to place it in the lobby as it is a symbol of boldness for me, and courage.
“We took a radical design direction last year and we dared, and we failed. So for me that shows a lot﷽ about the mindset of the team, in how it is important to cope with success a🐻nd failure, and I wouldn’t want us to go in any shape or form conservative in the future.
“I want us to take calculated risks and be bold.”
