Mercedes has given fans a sneak peek at their 2024 Formula 1 car, the W15, with a blurred-out image featuring Lewis Hamilton in the cockpit. The team is preparing for the new season after finishing as the runner-up in the Constructors’ Championship last year. However, it was a winless campaign for Mercedes as neither Hamilton nor George Russell managed to secure a victory. They are determined to close the gap to rivals Red Bull, who dominated the previous season. Team Principal Toto Wolff and Technical Director James Allison have signed contract extensions as they aim to lead the team’s recovery. The full launch of the new Mercedes car is set for February 14th.
