P1racenews AI automatic summary:
The W14 has a brand-new floor for the United States Grand Prix, with it set to be the final ‘big upgrade’ Mercedes bring this season.
Lewis Hamilton says that the Mercedes United States Grand Prix upgrade is the first upgrade in the ground effects era that he actually feels an improvement with. Mercedes has been struggling to understand and develop their car since the adoption of new regulations in 2022, while Red Bull has been performing dominantly. The team brought a new floor for the US GP, which Hamilton used to qualify third and was a contender for pole position. Hamilton acknowledges that the upgrade provided a good boost, but believes that they still need to push harder to catch up to Red Bull. Team Principal Toto Wolff states that there are certain areas where Hamilton feels more comfortable, but the W14 is not suddenly super-fast.
