Despite the challenges posed by Monte Carlo's famous barrier-lined streets, Mercedes will debut their long-awaited F1 upgrade at the Monaco Grand Prix⤵️
It is understandable though, given Mercedes need as much track time as possible to gather data and understand how their updated W14 works, even if Monaco is not the optimum venue for this.Considering all the risks associated with a Monaco deployment, it appears that another lost weekend of evaluation is simply not an option for Mercedes.
After all, the once-dominant Silver Arrows are pinning their hopes on the highly-anticipated upgrade enabling them to reduce Red Bull’s advantage as a “first step” on a potentially long road to getting back to the front of the grid. “We are hoping to bring other updates later in the year,” trackside engineering director Andrew Shovlin recently explained.“We are looking to head off in a different development direction, one that we think gives us a better chance in the long term of being able to challenge for race wins and world championships.”
Whether Mercedes get the answers they are looking for in Monaco, or have to wait until Barcelona for a clearer picture, remains to be seen.
