I just read a new Dutch Mercedes article :

Wolff fired people responsible for the Mercedes W14 wind tunnel tests !

1- Wrong calculations have been made with the W14 scale models.
2- Windtunnel testing has been done for the zero-pod design only.
3- A W14 with side-pods can't be made because the chassis is a specific zero side-pod design .
4- Mercedes can't change the W14 chassis in this season anymore .
5- The Mercedes chassis can only be changed in 2024 .
6- By these new discovered issues, Mercedes can't copy (copycat) the Red Bull RB19 with sidepods .
Upcoming next: Toto Wolff fires the wind tunnel.
