Mercedes has so far stuck to its guns with the reveal of its 2023 Formula 1 car proving to be far more of an evolution rather than a revolution.

On the latest episode of The Race F1 Podcast Scott Mitchell-Malm and ex-F1 technical director Gary Anderson join host Edd Straw to discuss the new features on the W14.

They explain why the car still features the infamous size-zero sidepod concept and why it has opted to return to its all-black design.
