Mercedes taking action to cure F1 car’s “underlying balance” problem
The German manufacturer has faced challenges in the 2024 campaign, with the W15’s speed being inconsistent throughout race weekends. Lewis Hamilton and George Russell have experienced a ‘knife-edge’ feeling due to setup issues. Mercedes is optimistic about an upcoming aerodynamic upgrade in Miami and plans further car changes in the following races. Technical director James Allison announced new parts to improve the car’s handling. Despite a double points finish in China, Mercedes still fell short of their performance expectations this season. The team aims to make adjustments for better results and learn from their experiences in order to progress.
