Mercedes’ 2024 F1 car won’t be uncovered for a couple of days yet, but the launch of Aston Martin’s AMR24 has revealed one eagerly-anticipated detail about the new W15’s base concept
The Mercedes W15 2024 Formula 1 car will be unveiled in two days, and it has been confirmed that it has switched to pushrod rear suspension, as seen in the Aston Martin AMR24. Aston Martin is using the latest-specification Mercedes gearbox and rear suspension as part of their supply deal. The front suspension layout remains similar to the AMR23, while the rear suspension has been optimized for airflow around the rear wing. The switch to pushrod rear suspension offers advantages in terms of aerodynamics and platform control. Mercedes made significant changes to their car concept last year, and while they were limited by certain architectural limitations, they were able to improve upon the previous model.
