P1racenews AI automatic summary:
The new upgrades will be available to both Lewis Hamilton and George Russell in Austin.
Mercedes has revealed its intentions for the final upgrade package of the 2023 season, which includes a new floor for the W14 car in the United States. The team has been struggling with their flawed sidepod concept throughout the season and hopes that the new package will enable them to challenge Red Bull in 2024. If Mercedes fails to win any of the final five races, it could be their first winless season since 2011. The new upgrade package will only be available for one hour of testing during practice on Friday due to the Sprint weekend format. The focus of the upgrades is on improving airflow conditioning, aerodynamic loads, and rear downforce. Haas and AlphaTauri have also brought significant packages to the race, aiming to increase aerodynamic load, efficiency, and airflow management.
