Could Austin give Mercedes an idea about whether or not their W15 could catch Red Bull?
Bringing a new floor to Austin, James Allison says don’t expect Mercedes to “leap past” Max Verstappen, the upgrade is more of a “bellwether” to ensure they’re heading in the right direction towards a title challenge next year.
Mercedes will introduce a “modified floor” with 2024’s car in mind with Allison, the team’s technical director, hoping it will give them an indication of whether they’re heading in the right direction. “It will hopefully bring a small gain but more importantly, is another milestone in setting our development path for W15.”Next season, though, passing Verstappen and Red Bull is the goal.
“It’s important we get off the new season on the front foot,” he said as per The Race, “but more than averagely so because with 2026 bearing down on us it’s highly likely that the 2025 cars are going to be close cousins of the 2024 cars, so doubly important to get the 2024 car good.
