Mercedes’ design office and wind tunnel are “seeing promising things” about their 2024 F1 car ahe𒊎ad of the new season, according to Sky’s Ted Kravitz.

After two hugely challenging campaigns, including enduring their first winless seas🍎on since 2011 last year, Mercedes are hoping that their revamped W15 challenger w൩ill enable them to significantly close the gap to reigning world champions Red Bull.

And the early signs are encouraging for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell, Sky F1’s pitlane reporter Kravitz reports.

When asked whether there have been any indications about how the teams are shaping up ahead of the new season, Kravitz told Sky Sports News: “I think theꦜ only indicators we’ve seen are somewhat of team bosses in chaos, with Guenther Steiner gone as the Haas team boss.

“Haas are welcoming in a new boss alr🦩eady and the season hasn’t evꦉen started.

“We have the newly signed team boss of Mercedes, Toto Wolff, has extended his contract to stay with the team, saying tha🐼t they are seeing promising things for Mercedes.

“So that Lewis Hamilton and George Russell can expect a car that really match✤es their talents and that’s the only real whisper we’ve had out from any of🌃 Red Bull’s competitors so far.

“Toto Wolff is saying that the noises from the design office and from the wind tunnel are that for the first time this Mercedesꦡ actually feels like a proper racingꦯ car, rather than a compromised package, which is what they’ve had for the last couple of seasons.

“So there’s reasons to be cheerful and optimistic forౠ Ge🧜orge Russell and for Lewis Hamilton.”

Seven-time world champion Hamilton is looking to return to the top of the sport and win what 🍰would be a record-breaking eighth drivers’ crown.

The 39-yea🌳r-old has remarkably not won a grand prix for two seasons, a 😼run stretching back to the 2021 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
