Mercedes are considering "radical changes" to their W14 car after a disappointing performance in the 2023 F1 season opener in Bahrain.
Lewis Hamilton and George Russell finished fifth and seventh respectively in the first race of the campaign, with the former world champion later claiming his concerns were ignored during the development of the car.
Team principal Toto Wolff has admitted changes will be needed if Mercedes are to have any chance of challenging Red Bull and Ferrari this season, as focus now switches to Saudi Arabia this weekend.
