The 2024 Mercedes Formula 1 contender must be a formidable vehicle, a victorious machine that will bring the German team of Hamilton and his successor George Russell back into prominence. This is especially crucial after two seasons of Red Bull dominance, with Max Verstappen securing three championships as a result.
Therefore, there is no place to conceal for the individuals responsible for the W15, and even less so for Toto Wolff, the team principal of Mercedes F1. He is obligated to guide his team to triumph once again, despite a season without any wins that still managed to secure a distant second place.
By the conclusion of the 2023 F1 season, Red Bull had accumulated twice as many points, with Verstappen (19) and Sergio Perez (2) claiming victory in 21 out of the 22 Grand Prix races. This occurred in a season where the former multiple world champions failed to secure a single win.
With their previous unsuccessful design approaches under the current aerodynamic regulations discarded, Mercedes now has an entirely new car in order to bridge the gap to the top and return their drivers to the highest position on the podium. They have already expressed great optimism about this.
Now, during the unveiling of the W15, they shared their thoughts on this crucial F1 car, which also happens to be Hamilton’s final Mercedes before he transitions to Ferrari next year.
