According to Mercedes’ technical director James Allison, the team has a clear understanding of what it needs to improve in its 2024 Formula 1 car in order to compete with Red Bull next season. Despite struggling under new technical regulations and changing its car concept mid-season, Mercedes currently holds the second position in the constructors’ championship. Allison believes that the team’s focus on 2024 has allowed them to identify the areas that need improvement, making next year’s prospects exciting. Mercedes will introduce an upgraded floor at the United States Grand Prix, which will have some impact on performance but is primarily geared towards long-term goals. Allison mentions that the new floor will not result in a significant leap in lap time compared to Red Bull’s Max Verstappen.
