Toto Wolff has revealed Mercedes will be changing “almost every component” for their 2024 F1 car in a bid to return to winning ways.
After a winless season in 2022, Mercedes will introduce a completely new car concept for the upcoming year. Despite starting the 2023 Formula 1 season with their well-known zero-pod design, Mercedes quickly removed it for the Monaco Grand Prix. While the team showed improvements, they struggled to match the performance of McLaren, Aston Martin, and Ferrari, who challenged Red Bull. Speaking after the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, team principal Toto Wolff confirmed that Mercedes will make significant changes to the chassis layout, weight distribution, and airflow as part of the new concept. He acknowledged that there is skepticism, but the team’s mentality is to never give up and push forward.
