George Russell believes Mercedes being aware of their vast amount of “issues” and “problems” with the W14 gives him “hope” heading into 2024.
Mercedes is currently having their first F1 season without a win since 2011, as they sit in second place in the constructors’ championship but have not performed as well as Ferrari or McLaren. They are planning to change their car concept for the 2024 season in order to return to contention for the title. Despite their struggles, driver George Russell is confident because they know the reasons behind their lack of speed and have identified issues they want to solve. In the previous race in Sao Paulo, Mercedes had their worst weekend of the year, finishing eighth. Lewis Hamilton believes they have learned from their mistakes but is uncertain whether they can challenge Red Bull for the victory in Las Vegas, as he doesn’t consider their car to be a race-winning one.
