After enjoying an unprecedented streak of F1 title success, Mercedes fell behind Red Bull and Ferrari in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:constructors’ championship during a miܫserable 2022 campaign in which their W13 was dogged by pe♚rformance issues. 

Mercedes hope their modified W14 challenger will not display the weaknesses o𒉰f its predecessor and help the team get back into F1 title contention in 2023. 

• Hamilton and Russell on the W14: “But if Red Bull have found the same lap time…”
• This is what will happen to Mercedes’ hated W13 F1 car from 2022

Asked what strengths of the W13 he wants to see in the W14, Hamilton, who is aiming to bounce back from his worst-ever F1 season by seali꧅ng a record eighth drivers’ crown, pinpointed two arꩵeas. 

“The only thing that we would want to keep would be... Our long run pace was good last year, o🍃ur race pace was always strong,” he said. 

“So I would say that’s the only element we really want to&﷽nbsp;carry on into this season. And also reliability. Those two are🥃 the things we want to hold on to. 

“But all the other stuffꦫ we want to reinvent, redesign and hopefully see a more efficient car.” 

Despite Mercedes’ shock struggles, the seven-time world champion -ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ who is out of contract at the end of the year - has full belief in his team’s ability to return to competitiveness. 

“Everyone in the team wants to win, so therꦚe is a strategy, there is a plan,” Hamilton said. “It’s been explained to us in detail&n🌸bsp;and I have full trust in the team. 

"It’s not until we get theꦬ car on the road and we figure out what it’s doing and where the limitations are, can we then steer the rudder and develop in that direction. 

“The great thing is we have two strong drivers with similar kinda  driving styles so it will be clear straight away, if there are issues, what those will be. 😼;

"I think the guys understand the car to be ablꦬe to deal with it. It’s good, I’m excited.”
