Mercedes present Hamilton and Russell's W15 for 2024 F1 season

Mercedes have unveiled the new Formula 1 car that Lewis Hamilton and George Russell will drive in the 2024 season. The livery differs from last year's car, although it remains predominantly black.

In the wake of the disappointing 2023 Bahrain Grand Prix for Mercedes, the team scrutinized every aspect of its operations. A new direction was taken, resulting in a good number of updates to the W14. "Despite the limitations of the W14’s pre-existing architecture, there was tangible progress," Mercedes said in a press release.

The German racing team intends to build on that this year. "We know we have a mountain to climb to fight at the very front. There are no miracles in this sport," stressed team boss Toto Wolff. "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."
