Mercedes – by its standards – looks like a Formula 1 team in crisis given it’s talked of abandoning its whole design concept just one grand prix into the 2023 F1 season and has been criticised by its talisman Lewis Hamilton for not heeding his warnings about the car.
Edd Straw and Mark Hughes delve into Mercedes’ situation in the latest episode of The Race F1 Podcast.
They look at what might have gone wrong at the team and why, including whether personnel changes and the changing nature of F1 itself since Mercedes’ dominant seasons have led to this situation.
The significance of Hamilton’s remarks, and his role in Mercedes’ development over the years, is also discussed, plus the changes Mercedes might make in both the short and longer term to get back on course.
