Mercedes delivered one of the surprises of last season when 🦂they turned up to the second pre-season test with an upgrade package featuring a unique sidepod solution that was vastly different from their rivals. 

The German manufacturer went on to endure a miserable season with their troubled W13, though the t🌜eam repeatedly stressed they did not believe the sidepod design was behind their struggles. 

While many teams have converged towards a solution similar to that of Red Bull with their 2023 F1 challengers, Mercedes’ brand-new W14 was launched with the same narrow concept, though Toto Wolff 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:hinted𝐆 the design will be revise🉐d during the season. 

“The Red Bull is the only one we haven’t seen, ಞrealistically, it was last year’s car. But🎃 Red Bull always come up with a good car,” Button told Sky. 

“The Ferrari looks nice. It looks like they’ve worked 🔥on areas where they were weak. They’ve taken some risks in other areas. 🌊;

“The strange one is Mercedes because the car looks beautiful. It’s the most beautiful car, I would ꦓsay, the Mercedes.

“They might possibly be changing the sidepods. Surprised they didn’t do that over the winter, 𒅌rather than into the season. But they obviously believe in the style they have right now for the first few races.”

Nevertheless, Button expects Mercedes duo 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell to♏ battle it out with Red Bull and Ferrari for the drivers’ and const🥀ructors’ world titles in 2023. 

“I look forward to the fight at the fr♋🐟ont,” he added. “We all hope for that three-way fight at the front, and I think we’ll get that, at some point this season.”
