F1 LIVE: Star narrowly avoids death in fireball crash as Russell fumes over Hamilton
Toto Wolff admitted that Mercedes took inspiration from Red Bull's book during their period of dominance, but it didn't pay off.
Wolff said Mercedes didn't find performance when they tried to replicate Red Bull's wind tunnel concept.
The Mercedes boss told the media: "I think from what you see from the outside, which is only half the information, is that the car looks like a Red Bull. < /p>
"Actually, to be honest, it doesn't matter, because only the stopwatch matters. That's what I guess Lewis was referring to, because this design seems like a good direction.
"But that's easier said than done and each of us had bodywork that looked like the Red Bull in the [wind] tunnel and it didn't improve performance."
