Mercedes chief Mike Elliott says his team have been gradually working to undo a design problem with this year's car, which has negatively impacted results for their drivers Lewis Hamilton and George Russell.
The technical director refused to say exactly what was wrong with their Mercedes but says they will fully correct the problem 'over the winter'. New regulations introduced to the cars in 2022 were brought in to ensure much more competitive and closer fought races, following the recent dominance of Hamilton and reigning world champion Max Verstappen.
While Red Bull and Verstappen still have the fastest car on the grid, Mercedes have struggled to make this season's car competitive at the front.
