After qualifying was finished for the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix in March, Toto Wolff, the Mercedes team principal, condemned his own car.
“We got the physics wrong, and now we need to correct it,” Wolff said.
“We gave it our best go, and now we need to regroup, sit down with the engineers and decide the development direction we want to pursue in order to win races.
“We hit our targets, and that showed us that it is simply not good enough.”Weeks later, at the Monaco Grand Prix, Mercedes introduced an upgraded version of its W14 car.
There was also a new floor and front suspension.
