The German manufacturer are set to fundamentally overhaul the design of their in-development 2024꧃ challenger following a🌜 difficult start to F1’s new regulation era, having suffered back-to-back underwhelming seasons. 

Mercedes have set themselves “very ambitious targets” to improve ⛦for 2024 in their bid to close the gap to F1’s dominant Red Bull squad. 

Technical director Allison said Mercedes are confident they now understand the issues that have held back their troubled 🅰W13 and W14 chall♐engers.

“You ca⛎n’t promise anything because everyone is working hard, all the teams 𒁃are pretty decent, but I think we’re on a very good path,” Allison told Sky at the Qatar Grand Prix. 

“I think much of wh🌠at ails us now is reasonably understood and we’re working to fix that.”

Asked if next year’s car looks like a Re𝓡d Bull, Allison replied: “I don’t know, I’ve got no idea what they are going to🥀 do next year. 

“We’ll find out when we all arrive next year.”

Speaking after a disappointing Japanese Grand Prix weekend, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton insisted that Mercedes need the greatest six months of F1 car development in their history if th💦ey are to successfully reel in Red Bull. 

Allison agreed with Hamilton’s assessment and warnജed that Mercedes’ 2024 car will also “set the tone” for the following season, with a large carry-over expected ahead of another regulation overhaul in 2026. 

“He’s right about it being a very important period because all of us have got half-an-eye on the fact that 2026 is coming down the𝓀 tracks at us,” Allison explained. 

“2026 is a big rule change again,꧒ tear evܫerything up and start all over again. And that will have to be done in the 2025 season under a cost cap. 

“In order to have the firepower to do that, it’s going to mean that probably the 2025 car will not be all new, which means what you do for 2024 will echo into 2025 as well, because a ⭕lot of carry-overꦉ will have to happen. 

“So hugely important to set the tone for what 24 and 25 will turn in𓆏to.”
