Mercedes W14 design will be full of surprises - Toto Wolff

Toto Wolff has implied the W14 configuration will be "brimming with shocks" as the Silver Bolts hope to quickly return from a sad 2022.

Mercedes finished the season with only one win to their name as the W13 demonstrated the most troublesome vehicle in the German constructor's set of experiences.

With Wolff as of late recommending that the issues for the W13 were available in as soon as October the earlier year, it tends to be expected Mercedes have been working for a decent couple of months now on the 2023 vehicle.

Mercedes have displayed before that they are fit for hauling a couple of stunts out of the pack with their vehicle showing up for the 2022 season broadly missing sidepods in contrast with their rivals and with groups set to disclose their entrances for the impending season one month from now, Wolff has implied that the vehicle will be very unique this time around.

"It's loaded with shocks," Wolff told media including PlanetF1.com. "The last time I saw it I thought 'goodness this looks the equivalent [as the W13]' however hopefully it's not something similar."

Given the huge change in guidelines for the 2022 season, almost certainly, the W14 will impart at any rate a few stylish characteristics to the W13 and Wolff conceded regardless of whether its replacement seemed to be comparable, he has been guaranteed that it is totally different under.

"I'm essentially similar to you, I go into the air stream and it seems to be the current year's vehicle however they share with me it's altogether different under.

"It's about the wind current, it's about the weight dispersion, it's about the air map.

"Our vehicle in a general sense changed mid-year. We changed the idea however we were unable to see anything on the bodywork."

Regardless of whether the vehicles appear to be comparative, Wolff will trust that none of the persistent vices of the W13 have been moved over. He said that finding and fixing the W13's concerns resembled stripping an onion.

"I think we have a vastly improved comprehension of what the issues were," he made sense of. "We've been stripping just a layer of the onion, layers of finding more issues and more issues, however I think we've gotten to the place that we see pretty well why the vehicle isn't performing.

"The connection basically is there for certain tracks so it's all in the fine detail of how might we make the vehicle work out efficiently, how might we work on the ride and make it more tomfoolery?

"I suppose assuming we're ready to settle that over the colder time of year, basically we can give a steady stage to the drivers and we can foster it from that point."
