When you think of Mercedes in Formula 1, you think of the team that won eight championships in a row, but I’ve recently learnt of one key mistake that caused all of that success to end in 2022.

Mercedes arrived at testing in Bahrain in 2022 with an unusual design the zeropod concept, but the results weren’t as expected. And poor performance lasted until more recently, where now they’re in the hunt for at least a podium most weekends.

So, what caused this twoyear blip, well, it all starts in their wind tunnel.
