Mercedes says the transformation that Mercedes’s upgraded W14 has shown in high-speed swoops has boosted belief that it is on the right path with its 2024 Formula 1 car.
The Brackley-based squad introduced a floor development at the United States Grand Prix that its technical director James Allison had previewed as being a ‘bellwether’ of its long-term potential. The change appeared to deliver a small step forward in lap time, as Lewis Hamilton challenged Max Verstappen for the win before his post-race disqualification for a worn plank.
“But to come here to the circuit where, probably feeling some of the high speed might be hard for us, to actually go as well as we did, I think is a good sign. Cautiously optimistic is probably the right way of looking at it.” Elliott explained that the upgraded floor was specifically targeted at addressing a weakness the W14 had in high speed, but a key challenge had been in sorting that out without it making the car’s balance worse.
