Lewis Hamilton took a swipe at his Mercedes team and feels his input was not listened to during the development of the team's W14 car.
The new machine made its competitive debut at the Bahrain Grand Prix, where Mercedes were hoping to fare better after a difficult 2022 campaign. But they could not challenge for the win or even the podium.
Not only that, but it became very clear that the performance gap between themselves and Red Bull is huge. Team boss Toto Wolff declared it was "one of the worst days in racing", while Hamilton admitted his car was "nowhere near" quick enough.
