Lewis Hamilton and George Russell have been warned that Mercedes will still lag behind three other teams at the start of the F1 2024 season.
Mercedes began this season sticking to their ‘zeropod’ idea but, after just one race in Bahrain where they disappointed, they conceded that the philosophy was flawed.But Anderson again warns that being inspired by the RB19 goes beyond what the car looks like: “The visual concept is something that makes the car work, but you have to do all the other non-visual stuff with it too, like understanding the detail on the under-floor.
“McLaren seem to understand that well now after their woeful start. Becoming Red Bull-alikes, if you will, has taken them forward. “This is the main area where Mercedes are lost. If they are going to start again with their car, they need to begin in this area.” Hamilton’s new contract with Mercedes, which will take him to the age of 40, has piled the pressure on Toto Wolff’s team to deliver their illustrious driver a car capable of winning.“The overall package is just not working and I do not see that they have a route planned out of this,” he said.
