"Mercedes have some clever ideas up their sleeves for this year" // W14 Tech Review with Craig Scarborough
Season 1, Ep. 1
•
We sit down with F1 Tech Guru Craig Scarborough (@ScarbsTech) to discuss the philosophy behind the W14 and why it should solve the porpoising problem that riddled the team last year. We also touch on some super exciting innovations that may have been built-in to the car, the prospect of a 'B' spec version, and the 'interchangeable' sidepod design. Craig also offers his opinion on some of the less encouraging rumours coming out of Brackley and Brixworth.
