Toto Wolff has teased some mysterious Mercedes changes ahead of the 2024 season. The Austrian believes the team have come up with some \u2018interesting\u2019 ideas that have not previously featured on their cars.<\/p>\n

Mercedes are desperate to catch Red Bull after another dominant year for Max Verstappen. Star driver Lewis Hamilton has already cast doubts over being able to defeat Red Bull in 2024.<\/p>\n

But team principal Wolff is more upbeat about Mercedes\u2019 chances. He promised that the car for next season will be more \u2018conventional\u2019 after admitting that the Silver Arrows got the design of this year\u2019s W14 \u2018wrong\u2019.<\/p>\n

The 51-year-old has teased \u2018interesting\u2019 changes that will be made to develop the W15. \u201cI think we were bold and courageous to embark on the road with such a car,\u201d he told PlanetF1.com.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was a different concept that nobody else had had before and it didn\u2019t work. I think it\u2019s as simple as that. It\u2019s physics and not mystics.<\/p>\n

\u201cNext year\u2019s car is going to be more conventional in what you would expect from a Formula One car, but there are a few interesting details that we have not seen on other cars yet.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wolff insists he does not want to look back on the previous year, instead preferring to plot a Mercedes resurgence for 2024. \u201cEvery year that is not easy is part of a learning curve that makes you better afterwards,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would have wished we would have competed for the World Championship but that wasn\u2019t the case. So we are looking forward to next year. All sails are set for 2024. We take the learnings and there is more analysis that we\u2019re doing but it\u2019s about the new car, it\u2019s about the organisation.\u201d<\/p>\n
