The fact that McLaren and Williams will continue using Mercedes engines, shows there is great confidence in the manufacturer’s ability to return to the top of F1.
Christian Horner says he has “a huge amount of respect” for everything that Toto Wolff has “done and achieved”, but he likes seeing his “counterpart losing it”.
Horner once again tries to defend what happened in Abu Dhabi and says “in being defensive”, Mercedes “exposed themselves to the situation that unfolded”.
Button believes Mercedes will be Red Bull’s main challenger in 2024, and adds Lewis is “even better now than he was five or six years ago”, and that’s “tough” for his opponents.
Horner says as “the most successful driver of all time”, Lewis “will have more sway within his team than his teammate, because his value to the team is significantly greater”.
Italian Motorsport.com reports that Allison completely changed Mercedes’ 2024 car design. The new car will reportedly have no links to the W13 and W14.
