However, the seven-time world champion wants his team to focus on the 2022 car instead of starting planning for the 2023 season “I’ve really not thought about that (2023 car). I think we’ve got to figure out what’s wrong with this car before we can make another car. If we just started making another car we could easily get it wrong,” he said.

“So I think it’s about getting on top of this one fully, which we still haven’t got on top of, and then give us a guideline of where to go. There’s definitely loads of things that I would not want from this car onto next year’s car, so I’ve already put those in,” the Mercedes star added.
The Silver Arrows have been reeling behind in terms of pace this season as their W13 challenger has been hit majorly by Porpoising. They haven’t won a single race this year and their best finish is P3 in the form of George Russell.

They even brought upgrades to their car at the Spanish Grand Prix to cure the Porpoising effect and it helped them massively. But, the race at Monaco saw them again reeling behind with lots of Porpoising happening.
