The team has broken down why it is lacking performance in high-speed corners, after troubles at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
Mercedes has acknowledged that their struggle in high-speed corners during the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix was due to a lack of rear-stability in the car, particularly in Sector 1. Lewis Hamilton expressed concerns about the car’s performance, prompting Team Principal Toto Wolff to admit there is a “fundamental issue” in that area. The Mercedes excelled in the straight sections of Sectors 2 and 3, but faced challenges in fast corners due to balance issues and lack of grip. Despite being one of the fastest cars in straight-line speed, Mercedes is working on enhancing high-speed cornering performance without compromising their speed. Their focus is on finding solutions to improve Sector 1 performance without solely relying on increased downforce at the expense of straight-line speed.
