Toto Wolff plans to mirror Red Bull's development plans in an admission of defeat in his team's bid to tame their 2023 car.
Mercedes are no stranger to having a "diva" car on their hands. That was the nickname Wolff gave to their 2017 car, the W08, as it was more temperamental compared to its predecessors – even though it still won the championship that year.
That was one of eight constructors' titles in a row, but the Silver Arrows are no longer top dogs these days. Red Bull are the dominant force on the Formula 1 grid and Mercedes have created two frustratingly unpredictable cars in as many seasons.
