RacingNews365 Technical Expert Paolo Filisetti provides the lowdown on the latest Mercedes upgrade package.
Mercedes and Haas made upgrades to their cars at the 19th event of the F1 World Championship, with Mercedes focusing on improving balance and reducing tyre degradation. The modifications included changes to the floor and upper conformation, as well as revisions to the external barge boards. The goal was to increase predictability and stability on corner-exit. While the immediate performance improvement was not sensational, both drivers felt the car was more stable, except for acceleration out of corners. The introduction of these changes in Austin allowed for data collection and laid the foundations for the future W15 model. The upgrades also aimed to avoid design dead ends and were driven by the fight for second place in the Constructors’ standings.
