Mercedes changing "every component" for W15 F1 2024 car
In 2023, the German manufacturer struggled against the dominant Red Bull team, despite finishing second in the constructors’ championship. They realized early on that their car’s aero platform was a wrong choice, and though they made major changes, they couldn’t regain their position at the front. They are now embarking on a complete overhaul for 2024, changing the chassis, weight distribution, and airflow, among other components. Team boss Toto Wolff acknowledges that they could still get it wrong and that everything is possible, but they are determined to make a big step and compete at the front. While finishing second in the constructors’ championship is a good result, they have mixed emotions and see it as a reminder of the work needed to catch up with Red Bull. They expect tough competition from McLaren, Aston Martin, and potentially others, but they view it as a great opportunity to strive for success.
