Sky Sports F1’s Ted Kravitz has expressed concerns over the impact of another member of the Mercedes ‘dream team’ leaving ahead of 2024.
Ahead of the Sao Paulo Grand Prix, Mercedes announced that their chief technical officer Mike Elliott would be leaving the team after 11 years. Elliott, who was the team’s technical director from 2021 to 2023, oversaw the design of the uncompetitive W13 and W14 cars. As a result, James Allison has now taken on the role of technical director. This departure adds to a series of high-profile exits from Mercedes in recent years, including Andy Cowell, James Vowles, and Aldo Costa. Given these changes, there are doubts about whether the Mercedes “dream team” can still deliver in Formula 1 and mount a serious challenge to Red Bull. Hamilton remains optimistic, but the team will face challenges going forward.
