At the launch of Mercedes’ 2024 challenger – the W15, team boss Toto Wolff commented on his team’s chances to beat Red Bull.
“On one hand, you need to be realistic about the odds of beating a team that is a fair chunk ahead under these regulations, and who got things right over the last two seasons whilst we have not,” the Austrian said.
“There are no miracles in the sport. On the other hand, our ambition is strong. It is Red Bull and a very successful car that are the benchmark we are aiming to beat.
