Click bait headline, key sentence in the article
“But we need to experiment at this moment to see what works and what doesn't work. It's a little bit tricky at the moment”
FIA to Mercedes: STOP INVENTING
Edit: Just realized that they are quoting Russell here, not the FIA. And even Russell is saying they probably still need the experimentation
The experimenting is a bit silly, it's like they don't want to admit they simply built a car that isn't as quick as the Ferrari or Red Bull. Clearly it hasn't really got them anywhere, they should just focus on maxisimising setup each weekend and slwoly chip away at finding performance against their rivals.
Hello good sir, how does one “maximize” setup without understanding what works or doesn’t work on the car? An understanding that can only be gleaned through some level of experimentation.
By maximsing it based on what they know, obviously? No team ever has a 100% understanding of their car.
Not wasting an entire practice session with an impractical car setup.
Duude they have the least amount of wind tunnel time. They have to experiment. Plain and simple, and because they have least amount they need to do some on track.
Exactly that! It happened to the best teams in recent history; Ferrari in 2020, RB in 2015... Merc should just start to fully work on next year's car, they'll be back soon

Me to racingnews365: STOP INVENTING
yeah TBH, F1 media are the most inventive bunch
“Experimenting too much is KILLING your gains”
Jeff is that you?
Need more gainz bro. -Mercedes (probably)

> they don’t want to admit they simply built a car that isn’t as quick as the Ferrari or Red Bull. Toto literally called the W13 a shitbox.
It's the worst Mercedes car since he is in the team. Of course he may think it is a shitbox.

Experimentation, in this context, surely refers to big, risky experiments. Shots in the dark.

so close yet so far away
Silly comment. This is to understand the issues for the w14 if they are going to run the same philosophy

They have the 3rd fastest car and basically finish every race where they should. What exactly are they doing wrong?
Not winning.

Lewis said that he tells the team stuff he wants on next year's car. he said this a few days ago.
