Mercedes used a 'table of doom' to forecast how competitive their troubled W13 would be at each track in F1 2022
While improvements were made as the year progressed, Mercedes slipped back to their usual level of performance at the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
“We always knew that we need to be prudent and not set our expectations based on the Brazil result,” he told media including“I think that circuit perfectly suited our car and everything ran very, very smoothly. And Abu Dhabi in our ‘table of doom’ was one of the worst tracks - not catastrophic like the high-speed tracks, but still not ideal.”Speaking in a post-race debrief video from Abu Dhabi, Mercedes chief strategist James Vowles further explained the team’s ‘table of doom’.
“It’s something that actually had fairly good correlation across the season and it did say that in for example Mexico and Brazil we would be significantly more competitive than we were going to be in Abu Dhabi. Vowles said Mercedes understand why they fell behind Red Bull and Ferrari in Abu Dhabi, despite dominating in Brazil just one week earlier.
