Toto Wolff dropped a hint that Mercedes might have something up their sleeve this year after a 2022 season to forget.
The Silver Arrows were a long way off the pace last year, with a less competitive car than their main rivals. Wolff and his top lieutenants have since admitted that they got the concept of the W13 wrong from the start, which left them playing catch-up for the rest of the campaign.
Having won the previous eight constructors' titles in a row, Mercedes will expect to get back to winning ways quickly. The 2023 season will be a huge one for the team and could prove defining for what their status might be until the next big regulation change in 2026.
