Mercedes: Dire Brazilian GP confirms all-new 2024 F1 design is right move
The German manufacturer is working on a completely different car for 2024 due to the lack of success with its current W14 challenger. The team recognizes that they need to restart and change their approach, despite the risk of losing the knowledge they have acquired over the past two years. The recent performance issues, such as the lack of pace at Interlagos, have confirmed the need for a new concept. Team principal Wolff explains that sticking with the current car would have been foolish. Mercedes acknowledges that they have been too conservative and their targeted ride-height aero platform has affected their performance. They plan to run next year’s car closer to the ground to address these issues. However, Wolff remains cautious and does not take anything for granted in terms of the team’s performance next year.
