Hamilton to get wish with Mercedes not “clinging on” to current F1 car concept
Lewis Hamilton believes that the weakness in the Mercedes W14 car was exposed during the Japanese Grand Prix, where he qualified over a second behind Max Verstappen. After winning eight consecutive constructors’ titles, Mercedes has struggled in the past two seasons, with just one victory in the last 37 races. Hamilton and teammate George Russell have been providing feedback on the car’s weaknesses, particularly in terms of stability and confidence in high-speed corners. Mercedes is planning significant changes for their 2024 challenger, but it remains to be seen if they can solve all the handling issues. The team is open-minded and working hard to regain their position at the front of the grid.
