In an eagerly awaited reveal, the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula 1 Team launched the W15 E PERFORMANCE, setting a bold course for the 2024 FIA Formula 1 World Championship. The unveiling not only showcased a car that builds upon the lessons learned over the past challenging seasons but also symbolized the team’s relentless pursuit of returning to the pinnacle of motorsport. Team Principal Toto Wolff and Technical Director James Allison shared insights into the philosophy behind the W15’s development, emphasizing a blend of innovation and reflection. The car represents a pivotal step in Mercedes‘ journey, with Wolff acknowledging the “mountain to climb” to compete at the front and Allison highlighting the iterative design process that has led to significant improvements over the W14. “We know we have a mountain to climb to fight at the very front. There are no miracles in this sport,” Toto Wolff said in a statement. “But our ambition and determination are strong. Since charting this new course, development has progressed well. “We had several items on our priority list for this car. We will soon see if we’ve made the step we’ve aimed for.” The W15’s debut at Silverstone, shared by Lewis Hamilton and George Russell, marked the beginning of a critical testing and development phase. The car’s livery, blending the iconic Mercedes silver with the powerful black of recent years, commemorates the Silver Arrows’ 90th anniversary, reflecting the team’s heritage and future aspirations. With a new chassis, gearbox casing, and aerodynamic refinements aimed at efficiency and downforce, the W15 targets the unpredictability issues of its predecessor, particularly around the rear axle. The design team has meticulously worked to ensure a more stable and controllable platform, vital for the drivers to extract maximum performance.
