Mercedes not "clinging on" to current concepts for 2024 F1 car revamp
Mercedes’ struggles in qualifying for the Japanese Grand Prix have highlighted their lack of downforce and balance issues throughout the season. Lewis Hamilton and George Russell have been providing feedback on the weaknesses of the W14 car, specifically its lack of stability and confidence in high-speed corners. Mercedes is taking this feedback seriously and is determined to make significant changes for the 2024 season. The team is currently working on their 2024 car, the W15, which they hope will address these issues and bring them closer to Red Bull’s pace. However, it is still too early to determine if the car is delivering the desired improvements, as the development process is ongoing. Mercedes acknowledges that it has had its share of missed performance targets in the past, but remains committed to setting ambitious goals in order to strive for excellence in Formula 1.
