Toto Wolff uses strange analogy, to sum up Mercedes struggles


Mercedes boss Toto Wolff offers his summary of the three days using analogy to describe his team's problems. Mercedes team looked vulnerable for the first time in years during the recently concluded pre-season test in Bahrain. "I always worry, sometimes for the right reasons, sometimes for the wrong reasons, but pre-season testing is always exciting because you always find the hair in the soup, things that are not good and we had quite some struggle in the first few days," Wolff told the official F1 website. Wolff went out to say that the team does not regret not conducting a shakedown. "The shakedown, if it’s done in the right conditions, allows you to understand a little bit more, but our failures in the first days were not down to doing or not doing a shakedown," Wolff explained. "It’s not a matter of complacency, there’s a reason why there are not many teams winning world championships or doing it with consecutive championships. It’s an organisation that needs to stay energised and motivated at all times, and that’s not trivial." Wolff went on to explain that the team will look for ways to improve for the next few weeks. "On the job list is that we will crunch the data," Wolff said. "Try to understand where we performed well, and where not, where we had good correlation to our simulations and the tunnel and where not, and just generally, it’s like sleeping overnight on an idea. Next day you wake up more intelligent."
