Mercedes’ Chief Technical Officer Mike Elliott says the team needs to “keep pushing because we want to learn more about this car so we can take that into the winter and into the development of next year’s car”.
Ahead of the F1 summer break, the team’s Chief Technical Officer Mike Elliott explained the team’s development plans for the second half of the season.
“Well, if we start with the summer break we can’t do very much at all,” Elliott said.
“We are not allowed to by regulation. We are forced to take a two-week break with no development of the cars and I think for most of the factory that is going to be a well-needed break.
“Something that actually helps them in the second half of the season when we need to bring all of that energy, bring all the upgrades we possibly can to the car.”

He added that their work on the W14 will help the team in 2024.
“In terms of what we can expect from the second half of the season we need to keep pushing.
“We need to keep pushing because we want to learn more about this car so we can take that into the winter and into the development of next year’s car.
“But also we want that fight for second in the championship, so we will keep bringing some upgrades to the car, keep fighting for that second position,” the Briton concluded.
