Mercedes has not “swallowed a dumb pill” since winning its last Formula 1 title, as team boss Toto Wolff says he does not currently feel the need to step aside.

big poaching campaigns from Red Bull and Aston back in 2021.

It was mostly Aston poaching chassis and aero related engineers. Red bull were exclusively poaching PU staff because they were establishing RBPT.

I agree with a comment below which points out that merc had massive PU advantage which was masking mediocrity in other areas. Other then 2020, merc has never had the best aero during the turbo hybrid era
