A significant problem is mentioned in the Mercedes upgrade that Lewis Hamilton and George Russell receive.
Mercedes has emerged victorious from the last four races, but they are still facing a major problem.
In order to address the issue of the W15 overheating its tires, Mercedes’ trackside engineering director Andrew Shovlin has acknowledged that his team might require multiple update packages. Lewis Hamilton’s tenure as a Silver Arrow would come to an end on this particular day.
For Mercedes, the 2024 campaign has been quite the journey. Beginning the year with the fourth-fastest vehicle, the Brackley-based team was closer to Aston Martin than it was to the top three competitors.
Weekly displays of frustration were common between Hamilton and teammate George Russell, but after the Monaco Grand Prix, something clicked, and Mercedes started to realise the promise of the W15.
Two of Hamilton and Russell’s three Grand Prix triumphs came from outright speed in the six races held before the summer shutdown. Even though they are still dealing with some serious issues, Mercedes is now a weekly winner.
