Hamilton: Wolff and Mercedes under “huge” pressure to deliver in F1 2024
Following a winless season, Mercedes is banking on a new car concept for its 2024 W15 challenger to revive its fortunes. However, according to seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, there is little margin for error in the new ground effect era. He expressed that the team is under immense pressure to ensure competitiveness for the upcoming season. Hamilton acknowledged that Mercedes had struggled to find a clear development direction over the past two years. Still, he believes the team now has a clear vision and is more encouraged after infrastructure changes and a switch in car concept. However, he emphasized that progress is not a straight line and compared the team’s development process to building a wall, where sometimes they had to go back and start again.
