Lewis Hamilton, the British driver for Mercedes AMG, competed in the Formula 1 World Championship race at the Miami Grand Prix in Florida, USA on May 5, 2024. Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff has expressed that both of their factories are working at full capacity in order to address the issues with their 2024 Formula 1 car. Despite introducing a revised floor to the W15 challenger, Mercedes had a disappointing performance in the sprint race, with Hamilton finishing in sixth place and George Russell in eighth, while McLaren, one of their engine customers, emerged as the winner. However, Wolff remains confident that Mercedes has a good understanding of their problems and is actively working on developing new parts to resolve them. He emphasized the team’s commitment to accelerating development and production in order to improve the car’s performance. While there are no quick fixes, Wolff assured that Mercedes is dedicated to finding solutions and will release updates when they are ready. Russell, on the other hand, believes that Mercedes may have overcompensated for the flaws of their previous car and has gone too far in the opposite direction with their latest concept. Wolff acknowledged this, acknowledging that the car no longer bounces and performs well at high speeds, but struggles at low speeds. Despite the challenges faced, Wolff remains optimistic about the progress made and the direction the team is heading in.
