Toto Wolff admitted 2022 was "the complete disaster of all seasons" for Mercedes as leaders discussed what needs to be done for the Silver Arrows to get back to winning ways in Formula 1.
Red Bull ran away with both championships this year as the challenge from Ferrari faded away amid their reliabilities woes and strategy mistakes. Mercedes, meanwhile, were out of the title race from the get-go as it became apparent their car was simply not competitive enough.
The Silver Arrows made gains as the season went on and finally ended their duck, winning the Brazilian Grand Prix. Those improvements are why Wolff remains optimistic about the future despite being so far off the pace this year.
