Rumble in the Mercedes Jungle !!!

Criticism of (LEW) Hamilton leads to crisis consultation at Mercedes: Technical director "Mike Elliott" is presented with an ultimatum !

After the disappointing performance and the criticism from their goldcrest (LEW), Wolff changed his opinion and the racing stable held a crisis meeting. They discussed the disappointing results and even presented Mike Elliott, Mercedes technical director, with an ultimatum. If Mercedes' performance does not improve quickly, the technical director will have to look for another job !

Checo still lives in a parallel F1 universe:

"Sergio Perez blames Charles Leclerc move for his failure to challenge Max Verstappen
Red Bull had by far the quickest car in the Bahrain Grand Prix, but still Perez was unable to come close to challenging his team-mate Verstappen for the victory"

The main reason Ferrari planned for new softs was to jump Checo and we all know it's unlikely he would keep up to Max let alone pass him if he did retain second.

Looks like Mike Elliots last chance to get it right but shouldn't worry RB too much with what they have now and let's face it starting from scratch again with just the tub to retain will put them back to square one.

I couldn't agree more . The Mercedes W14 type B has not been sufficiently tested .
The B is like a jump into the unknown ! Mercedes is desperate

And Ferrari continues to develop a single pillar rear wing (single center support)

I trust that the Mercedes AMG behemoth has a backup plan for this type of situation. There must be an alternative concept car under wraps behind curtains, waiting to be revealed once they will have decided, at last, to ditch the current W14.

Last year, Mercedes AMG thought that it had an ace up its sleeve with the W13, but the car turned out to be a jack on track - they demoted themselves to "best of the rest". The tables have turned and they need to urgently address the new reality.

2022 ?
The main reason why Mercedes is failing again is by Wolff's stubbornness ...
They saw last year that the 2022 W13 zero-sidepod design wasn't working and the car was bouncing like a jumping kangaroo !
Even their Mercedes FIA mole-saga didn't helped them to slow down MAX and the Red Bull team .
Wolff wasn't afraid to use corruption to get inside information about the RB18 car and Red Bull's budget cap .
It was a true shame for motorsports !

2023 ?
And they did it again , and again the W14 is not competitive with the zero-sidepod design .
The Mercedes team shot in their own foot . Twice ! By stubbornness...
Currently there is no other way out and they must use the W14-B spec car .
Hopefully they can make the B-Spec competitive , but I'm pretty sure It's already too late for Mercedes because that takes time .
And the FIA budget cap regulation won't help them neither.
Wolff's stubbornness is not cheap !

IMHO . The Mercedes W14-B spec car is 'again a big Mercedes gambling game...
Too bad for the 'black arrows

It's a bit like blaming the rest of the field when you finish last
