Mercedes has boosted its form at the last handful of rounds and as it eyes even more gains, it will implement more change for next year’s car.
Mercedes has announced plans for significant changes to its 2025 F1 car, despite the regulations remaining stable for the upcoming season. The 2022 season will be the final one under the current technical regulations before major changes are introduced in 2026. The team has faced challenges with the current car but has shown improvement, winning three of the last four races. Andrew Shovlin, the trackside engineering director, emphasized the need to carefully manage development within the cost cap constraints. While the new car is expected to be an evolution of the current model, there will be notable changes, particularly in the aerodynamics. Shovlin explained that while there will be significant alterations, the overall architecture of the car is likely to remain consistent to avoid setbacks in the wind tunnel testing phase.
