Mercedes have already heavily revised their 2023 car amid their ongoing competitive struggles but have been left frustrated by the W14’s incon🙈sistent performance fluctuations. 

While Mercedes believe their current car is “really f🍌ast” despite being yet to record a victory this season, team principal Wol🎃ff expressed confidence in its successor - the W15. 

“We will throw this one in the bin🥀 when it's really fast and then embark on a new journey,” Wolff is quoted as saying by . 

“I think we have encouraging signs from the tunnel♛ of a balanced car that's going to be more together, and we have answers to our questions. 

"So, we are really looking at the results wi🐈th an encouraging perspective.”

Wolff also confirmed that Mercedes will change the “bones” of their fundamental🐎 design philosophy which has largely remained the same since new rules were introduced in 2022. 

“The car that we put on track in 2022 is fun♉damentally,ཧ the bones are the same,” he told F1TV. 

“We are going around in circles a l🔥ittle bit in how we can improve the car and it’s difficult. 

“We are working on changing those bones for next year, which means we see a lot of potential but you are also st🅠arting in a position where 🌠you can’t really predict the outcome. 

“But flat-out, this is the mindset at thꦑe moment.”
