Mercedes’ Trackside Engineering Director Andrew Shovlin gives first comments on the W14, after the car completed its initial running.
On Wednesday and Thursday Mercedes completed the initial running of their 2023 car – the W14.
While completely unsubstantiated rumours were floating around that the team experienced some technical issues with the car, Andrew Shovlin confirms there was nothing to these talks and says everything went smooth.
“We’ve had a solid start to the programme for W14,” the Briton said.

“Conditions weren’t great for filming or running but we completed the permitted 100km without any issues, and both drivers have been able to give us a good assessment of their first impressions of the car.
“Bahrain will be very different to a cold, wet Silverstone but everything seems to be working well.
“Hopefully we can hit the ground running next week and maximise the three days of pre-season testing that we have,” Shovlin concluded.
