Former IndyCar and NASCAR driver Danica Patrick says if Mercedes’ big Imola upgrade “really does work”, then it “will look like an entirely different season moving forwards”.
After the first race of the 2023 season, Mercedes decided to head in a different development direction with their car.
The first steps of this new direction will be unveiled next weekend at Imola, and the team already promised the W14 will receive new suspension parts and bodywork, among other things.
During her appearance of Sky Sports F1, Danica Patrick gave her thoughts on the upgrade.
“If this does really work, and at Imola, they get going better, then [it] will look like an entirely different season moving forwards,” Patrick said.

“The test will be if they don’t see what they want to see. They have high expectations, and if it doesn’t meet those expectations, if they don’t make enough progress, the test will be to keep their heads above water during the triple-header.
“You’ve got to keep cool, stay positive, know [that] there is more racing to be done.
“If the upgrade really does work, it will be a big deal for them,” Patrick concluded.
