Mercedes Formula 1 CEO Rob Thomas has provided insight into the work going on behind the scenes as the team
The Mercedes team is determined to challenge for the title again after two underwhelming years in Formula 1. They finished second in the Constructors’ Championship in 2023, but were far behind Red Bull. The team’s competitiveness has been hindered by their ‘zeropod’ solution, which they decided to abandon last season. They are now pursuing a revised car concept for this year. The team is currently in the process of preparing for the upcoming season, focusing on their core values of Passion, Respect, Innovation, Determination, and Excellence. They strive to create a culture of support, humility, and idea-sharing, where everyone contributes to being the best in the world. However, they also recognize the need to balance their drive for improvement with celebrating their successes.
