The Mercedes team does not rule out that the subsequent racing design will be based on the ideas of Red Bull in order to have combat effectiveness in 2023.

This season has been difficult for Mercedes. Their narrow sidepods and wide floor design have made them struggle with the dolphin jump phenomenon caused by ground effect , which makes it difficult for both drivers to control the car. . So Mercedes thought of moving closer to Red Bull's design.

But as more and more teams copy Red Bull's sidepod solution, Mercedes has made it clear that their solution is advanced and something we will learn from. While Mercedes does not believe the answer to the problem lies in simply switching to Red Bull's solution, he said their team is evaluating the possibility of doing so.

Asked about the possibility of a switch to the Red Bull Concept, Mercedes' technical director Mike Elliott said: "I think what you're referring to is a significantly different body, which I think is possible."

"We've evaluated some of these concepts in that direction. I won't say which way we're going to go, but we'll look at Red Bull's solutions. I think if we don't stay humble, then we're not going to progress "

Elliott explained that rather than thinking that directly copying Red Bull's concept would bring benefits, the key is to understand what benefits such a design would bring.

"As a former aerodynamicist, what you want to do is understand what's happening with the airflow in it," he said.

"So we'll look at how the Red Bull body works and why does it do this?" This is important when we develop the car.

Mercedes R&D chief said: "Maybe we will see changes this year, maybe next year, or maintain the status quo."

Mercedes has delivered a host of upgrades for this weekend's British Grand Prix, Eli Ott explained that now that the team seems to have the worst of the issues behind them, they are focusing on delivering extra performance.

He also added: "We made quite a big change to our aerodynamics in Barcelona. That way we made some good progress. But we probably compromised the volumetric aerodynamics of the car." So this time The upgrades are really about restoring it; trying to improve the performance of the car and really increase the speed. "
