After falling behind Red Bull and Ferrari to third place in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 constructors’ standings in a hugely challenging 2022 campaign that saw the team reꦦgister just a single race victory, Mercedes are hoping to be back in the hunt for titles this season. 

Mercedes’ troubled W13 was compromised by 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:porpoising and bouncing but the Silver Arrows hope to have put their issues behind t♍hem after spending the majority of last year getting to the bottom of the problem. 

And Wolff hopes Mercedes can use the learnings of last season’s struggles to unlock the full potential of their new car - the W14.&nb💞sp;

"I think we have understood how we fell back, where the shortcomings are, and where we have gaps in understanding," 🔴Wolff sai𝓡d. 

"💦We're working hard on putting a car on the ground that has addressed all of that. But we will only see when starting testing whether we have unlocked the potential that we believe has always been in the car.”

After enduring his worst season in F1, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton will be hoping to get back to winning ways by dethroning arch rival 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen to claim a record-brea🌸king eighth world title. 

Meanwhile, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell will be looking to build on his impressive rookie Mercedes season that saw him 🤪take the team’s only win and become just the second teammate in the last 🌳six years to beat Hamilton in the world championship.

However, Wolff insi🦩sted Mercedes remain cautious about their chances at the start of 2023 amid fears Red Bull could maintain the advantage they held༺ at the end of last year. 

"We have no doubt, when you're start👍ing behind by half a second, that it's going to be difficult to catch up to𝔉 such great organisations like Red Bull, or Ferrari," he continued. 

"Now, having said that, w꧂e are super determined in doing💧 just that. But we need to set our expectations at a realistic level.

"If we perform in the way we hope, then we'd like t𒈔o be part of the racing at the very front. I think that would be a starting point.

"But we don't take that for granted. It could well be that the gaps are 💫🍸like they were at the end of last season.

"I think there is so much potential still that within our car, within the concept, the way we dr🐠ive the car, etc, that maybe our development slope can be steeper in the months to come.”
