Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff has admitted the Silver Arrows could revert to older car designs after technical issues continue to disrupt both Lewis Hamilton and George Russell in 2022.
The octuple world champions have struggled with severe porpoising as their cars have been bouncing uncontrollably. The porpoising issues have plagued the early rounds of the 2022 season for Mercedes, as neither Hamilton nor teammate Russell have been able to truly compete with the likes of Ferrari and Red Bull.
Mercedes thought they had overcome the issues ahead of the inaugural Miami Grand Prix, as Russell impressed during practice in Florida. However, the unpredictable nature of the car reared its ugly head as the Mercedes struggled to keep pace with both drivers lamenting the poor performance while Max Verstappen took the chequered flag.
