Reported by AMuS, Mercedes are weighing up two new concepts, althougꦗh they will have to make a decision quickly to s꧙ave their season.

“It’s been done in the wind tunnel, but it’s not just about the sidepods or how the car looks from the outside,” he told ORF

“We have to🌠 dꦓig into the data and decide which direction to go in.”

With there being only two more races from now until the end of April follo🎐win🌌g the cancellation of the Chinese Grand Prix, teams will have a lot of time to develop and bring new upgrades.

How quickly Mercedes can intr𒈔oduce a new concept is unclear given th🅷at McLaren will do so in Baku on April 30.

The Woking team decided this in January - four months prior ꦓto next month’s Azerbaija♈n Grand Prix.
