The ‘luxury’ Mercedes have with Hamilton and Russell’s F1 car demands
After a disappointing performance at the Japanese Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton expressed the need for Mercedes to make significant developments in order to compete with Red Bull in 2024. Hamilton mentioned that his requests for changes in the car design have been partially followed for next year. Both Hamilton and his teammate George Russell have similar demands for the car’s performance, which gives Mercedes an advantage compared to other teams whose drivers have different styles. However, experts warn that the dynamic between Hamilton and Russell could change as Mercedes becomes more competitive, with tensions rising when fighting for a championship. The question of whether drivers prioritize their personal success or the team’s goals arises in such situations.
