Mercedes’ Technical Director James Allison says “from the summer break onwards, next year’s car is where the largest call is answered”.
In 2023 Mercedes has not been in the position they want to be in, and that’s fighting for the world championship.
However, they want to be back in the fight in 2024. Mercedes’ Chief Technical Officer Mike Elliott says this will be the team’s focus in the second half of the season.
“Our aim is to win championships,” the Briton said.
“Unfortunately, we are not in that position this year. But we want to be next year.
“We’ve got to get that balance right between getting all the learnings we can with our current car and trying to put most of our effort into next year’s car,” Elliott concluded.

Mercedes’ Technical Director James Allison says the team’s wind tunnel is already focused on next year’s car.
“At this stage of the year the wind tunnel is heavily focused on 2024,” Allison said.
“Large chunks of the drawing office, vehicle dynamics, manufacturing for long-lead time production items are starting to gather their skirts.
“From the summer break onwards, next year’s car is where the largest call is answered.
“But that also gives opportunities for the W14 too,” he concluded.
