Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes have “paid the price” for not getting the new regulations right last season.
The team have continued to struggle after going with a completely different concept to many other teams on the grid.
Peter Windsor told his YouTube channel: “They just went gung ho for massive downforce on the car and were shocked, I think, I guess, when the car first ran and George [Russell] and Lewis [Hamilton] said “we can’t drive the car, there’s so much porpoising we can’t even see straight.”
He added: “So because of their success, I guess they felt that they could do it, they could move mountains.
“They don’t need to go outside their own box to know how to do it and they paid the price and they’re still paying the price.”
