David Coulthard sees Toto Wolff’s ‘brutal’ W14 assessment as a low blow to designersFormer F1 driver David Coulthard believes Toto Wolff’s damning indictment of the W14 is a “big kick in the whatnots” for the Mercedes design team.
He said after the Miami Grand Prix he had to give his people the “benefit of the doubt” after all they “produced great race cars in the past and we believe this is the route to go.” But with this year’s W14 once again off the pace and lacking in downforce, Wolff has conceded that maybe Mercedes do need to change the car’s concept.
With his drivers fifth and seventh in the race, Hamilton ahead of Russell with both 50-plus seconds behind Verstappen, he again said the W14 “concept needed to change”.“I think it was brutal,” he told Channel 4 of Wolff’s assessment.
