That level of troubleshooting is more common at a software startup that scrambles to provide an overnight fix in production than an F1 racing team with thousands of employees.Toto Wolff revealed that Aston Martin’s performance gains at the start of the F1 2023 season were beneficial to Mercedes. The impressive surge by Aston Martin allowed Mercedes to rule out shared components as the cause of their early-season struggles.
“It was actually really good that Aston Martin was so competitive at the beginning of the season,”
“Because that at least for us made it clear that the rear end is not the problem, the gearbox is not the problem, the engine is not the problem, the rear suspension is not the problem. We have to look elsewhere.”
“And that’s why I like having teams that are on the same spec.”

Here's one more for Toto, the paint probably was not the problem either.
