News about Mike Elliott

As part of the Jurassic Coast, a Unesco World Heritage site, Hive Beach in Dorset is certainly stunning. But it's also dangerous. In the past year, there have been eight rockfalls on this beach - two in the past seven weeks alone. The most recent, last month, contained boulders the size of cars.

Lesson No. 8,347 in how Formula One works. In April, Mike Elliott went from being Mercedes technical director to chief technical officer, exchanging roles with the universally beloved engineer James Allison (aka The Man Ferrari Let Slip). A promotion? Elliott's departure from Mercedes this week after 11 years to pursue new opportunities, no more so than Elliott's. Elliott took over as technical director in July 2021, marking the sport's biggest technological reformer in decades. However, the radical design route they took down, the 'zero-sidepod' idea, proved to be a cul-de-sac. The Red Bull discovered the highway, and the rest of the story is history. Although Mercedes has fixed the worst of the porpoising since last year, the process of uncovering intrinsic flaws remains a continual process.

Mercedes made a significant advancement in their engineering team by moving their top engineer back to his old hands-on position, which may have been a determining factor in whether Lewis Hamilton resigns. After stepping away to take up the role of chief technical officer in 2021, James Allison returns as the technical director. Mike Elliott, Allison's replacement, has swapped places with his fellow British engineer Dave Wilson.

According to a recent study, tensions within the Mercedes camp have erupted, with the team's engineering director Mike Elliott receiving a 'ultimatum' following a slow start to the 2023 season. The seven-time world champion began the new Formula One season in a bleak fashion, finishing fifth in Bahrain and well down on runaway champion Max Verstappen. Hamilton was enraged after the race and vented his indignation. Mercedes reportedly called an emergency team meeting at their plant to air grievances.

Mercedes didn't get a glimpse of what to be until the AMG F1 W13 E Performance Series came on the grid. The Brackley and Brixworth engineering teams were compelled to rewrite the W12's layout in order to produce a new vehicle that would comply with 2022 Formula 1 rules. Mercedes were hoping that their new technology would help them win in the 2022 campaign. However, they may not have been more wrong. The W13 had a dramatic debut of age compared to Mercedes' previous generations. So, with the above in mind, Sportsmail has taken a look at what went wrong for Mercedes during the 2022 season on a technological level and determined how they have modified the W14 Formula 1 car as a result.
