Mercedes could start the 2024 F1 season on the back fꦰoot after being 🍬unable to ‘push the development’ on certain areas on their W15.

Mercedes pulled the covers off the W15 on Wednesday morning - 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton’s last challenger with the team.

Everyone at Brackley will be hoping they’ve got their car rightܫ after going through ꦏ2023 without a victory - the first time since 2011.

Me🍎rcedes have adopted an entirely new car concept, including new chassis and gearbox.

It seems such significant architectural changes have h🎐ad a knock-on effect on the overall development of 𒆙the car.

Given the cost invol🦋ved, technical director James Allison🦩 revealed that development has been limited in other areas on the car as a result.

“A new chassis and gearbox were standard for each year, pre-budget-cap,” he expౠlained.

“The latter usually forces you to choose, but th🐬ere 𝓀are teams like us who have opted to change both.

“There is no doubt that having a new outer casing of theꦺ gearbox and, at the same time, having a new chassis 🌳are two big projects that take a part of our financial means.

“This means that in other 🌳parts of the car, we have not pushed as much developm🔯ent.”

“I feel like we delivered on all the things we said we wanted to do. Some aspe💮cts are unlimited, and therefore, you can never be fully satisfied,” he added.

“However, we won’t know until we actually get the machine mo꧒ving. But I think w♉e can say that we feel like we’ve done a good job. F1 is a relative game.

“Whether we have worked well enough to be compet🎶itive, only time will tell. We don’t know what everyone else did.”
