Mercedes’ Chief Technical Officer James Allison says the team will roll out an upgrade at the United States Grand Prix, and hopes they “can celebrate” Lewis Hamilton’s 351st race “in greater style”.
With six more races left before Lewis Hamilton ends his 12-year Mercedes run, the team’s Chief Technical Officer says the team hopes to allow him to achieve a good result at the United States Grand Prix, after they roll out “a fairly substantial” upgrade.
“We’ll be trying to figure out how to mitigate what ailed us [in Singapore], [and] how to make the tyres run better on these sorts of overheating circuits,” Allison said.
“We’ll be also doing quite a lot of work to bring our last upgrade of the season together.”
The Briton called the upgrade “a fairly substantial set of new clothes” for the W15.

“We hope that will give us a decent weekend there. So we’ve got to deliver all that and get ourselves ready for these last few races of the year.
“We are coming towards the end of our journey with [Lewis] and almost every weekend is a milestone never to be repeated.
“It’s just a shame that [his 350th race] happened on a weekend where the car was not brighter and my hope is that we won’t have to go too far beyond the 350th.
“Maybe we can celebrate the 351st in greater style in Austin,” Allison concluded.
