Mercedes’ trackside engineering director, Andrew Shovlin, has hinted at a positive update on their car for next year. Despite struggling to compete with Red Bull under the new regulations, Mercedes has continued to develop their current car while focusing on their challenger for next year. The team introduced a new floor in the United States, which has shown promising results. Shovlin mentioned that recent races, such as those in Austin and Mexico, have demonstrated the team’s improved pace, allowing them to effectively race against McLaren and Ferrari.
