Mercedes Rising: Promising Developments in W15 F1 Car wll be really exciting to Hamilton and Russell, According to team Boss Toto Wolff.
According to Sky’s Ted Kravitz, Mercedes’ design office and wind tunnel are seeing promising things for the new season, which has Lewis Hamilton and George Russell excited.
After two difficult seasons without a first victory since 2011 last year, Mercedes are hoping their redesigned W15 race car will allow them to close the gap on current world champions Red Bull.
Early signs are promising for Lewis Hamilton and George Russell, Sky F1 pitlane correspondent Kravitz reports.
Asked if there were any signs of how the teams were shaping up ahead of the new season, Kravitz told Sky Sports News: “The only sign we’ve seen is that the team bosses are in disarray, like Guenther Steiner leaving as Haas team boss.”
“Haas is already welcoming a new boss and the season has not started yet.”
“Mercedes’ newly appointed team boss Toto Wolff has extended his contract and says Mercedes sees promising things.”
“So Lewis Hamilton and George Russell can expect a car that truly suits their talents and that is the only whisper we have heard from Red Bull’s rivals so far.”
“Toto Wolff says the information from the design office and the wind tunnel is that this is the first time that the Mercedes really feels like a race car, not a package of compromises as it has been for the last few seasons.”
“Therefore, there is reason for joy and optimism for George Russell and Lewis Hamilton.”
Seven-time world champion Hamilton aims to return to the top of the sport and win a record-breaking eighth championship crown. Incredibly, the 39-year-old driver has not won a Grand Prix for two seasons, a streak that dates back to the 2021 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
