🗣️ “Never would you tear things up and say: ‘no, enough with that, let's change’” Mercedes technical director James Allison has ruled out taking a clean sheet approach to next year’s F1 car design ⬇️
after the German manufacturer swapped Mike Elliott across to take his previous position of chief technology officer.
While the team has talked about switching car concepts, which will include a change of sidepod design, Allison does not believe that the squad needs a complete revamp of its current challenger. “If the rules change, then of course you have to change with them, but engineering is about iteration. And, in all likelihood, if you tear things up, and I am going to mix metaphors horrifically here, you are going to throw away an awful lot of baby along with a small amount of bathwater.
“You are going to use the platform you have and you're going to choose the paths forward that allow it to get better in the fastest possible way. And almost never, in fact never, would you ever tear things up and say: ‘no, enough with that, let's change and do something completely different.’”Allison said that Mercedes was not embarking on anything too radical on where it wanted the W14 to improve.
