Mercedes made a major announcement today after carefully reevaluating the architecture of its current W15 Formula 1 car. The changes will affect the car’s plans for 2025. These observations were shared by driver George Russell, who emphasized the team’s resolve to improve its performance trajectory in preparation for the upcoming season.
Russell emphasized the significance of the recent three-week break in the Formula One schedule, saying that it gave the team a priceless chance to evaluate their performance and make the required adjustments. He confirmed, “We’ve definitely uncovered a few things that we want to be changing going into next year,” adding that the team was able to thoroughly examine the car’s underpinnings during the reflection period.
Mercedes is scheduled to introduce an upgrade as part of these modifications during the US Grand Prix this weekend. Russell is hopeful that this update will help the squad reclaim its competitive advantage, and he voiced confidence about its potential impact. “I hope with the upgrade we can be in the fight again, at least in qualifying, and fighting for those top four places,” he stated, noting that McLaren and other competitor teams had put in excellent performances.
Although Mercedes is having a difficult post-summer break, Lewis Hamilton, Russell’s teammate, suggested that Mercedes’s present problems could be caused by the fact that Mercedes is not keeping up with its rivals when it comes to update schedules. “When we haven’t brought upgrades, the others have,” Hamilton said, providing insight into the team’s attempts to realign its approach.
Russell and Hamilton are expected to regain their competitive form this weekend as the squad moves decisively to solve the performance issues of the W15. Both observers and supporters will be attentively observing these events to determine how they affect the team’s performance as they attempt to make a comeback this season.
