Mercedes struggled in the 2023 season, unable to catch up to Red Bull and settling for second place behind Ferrari. However, they are preparing for a new car, the W15, for the 2024 season, which shows promising results in simulations. Toto Wolff, the team principal, expressed his hope that the improved car will translate to success on the track. He compared the challenge of beating Red Bull to climbing Mount Everest. With Lewis Hamilton and George Russell under contract until 2025, Wolff emphasized the team’s commitment to giving their full attention to the next two seasons.
