Mercedes have seemingly responded to speculation over the future of seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, by posting an incredibly cryptic post on social media. 2023 certainly hasn’t started well for the Brackley-based team, with the Germans having fallen to fourth in the pecking order at the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix. Whilst they remain comfortably behind

Having won eight constructors’ championship titles in a row over the last decade, Mercedes have remained incredibly consistent behind closed doors, with their staff and driver lineups remaining very similar. In recent years some changes have begun to be made however, with chief technical official James Allison having move to work on the INEOS Team

Last season, Mick Schumacher showed dramatic improvement at Haas, even securing a P6 finish in Austria after a series of impressive on-track battles. The downside to Schumacher’s game however was his constancy, with the German’s impressive results often being matched by an equal low. High-profile crashes in Monaco and Saudi Arabia made Schumacher an expensive

The Bahrain Grand Prix was supposed to be Mercedes’ revival, with the team tipped to return to winning ways after a catastrophic 2022. This was not the case however, as the Silver Arrows were beaten by Red Bull, Ferrari and the Aston Martin of Fernando Alonso. This left Mercedes walking away from the Bahrain Grand

Coming into the 2023 season, Mercedes were expected to be completely different to how they were last season, having only won a single race in 2022.

Heading into the 2023 season, Mercedes were expected to be a team reborn, having limped to a third-place finish in last year’s championship.

The 2023 season opener in Bahrain saw Mercedes’ worst fears realised, as the team had actually fallen back in the pecking order rather than progressed forward. Having struggled to compete with Ferrari and Red Bull last year, it was expected that Mercedes would make drastic changes and improvements over the winter to return to title

After limping to a third place finish in last seasons’ constructors’ championship, it seemed that the only way was up for Mercedes in 2023. Under the new regulations, the team got their design for the W13 completely wrong and suffered with a severe porpoising problem and a general lack of performance. The Silver Arrows surprisingly
MoreLewis Hamilton is clearly not pleased with Mercedes, as they have once again designed a car that is unable to compete with Red Bull and Ferrari.
