The Mercedes-AMG F1 W15 E Performance, commonly referred to as the Mercedes W15, is a Formula One racing car designed and built by the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team to compete in the 2024 Formula One World Championship. [1] This is the first Mercedes Formula One car fully designed by British designer and engineer James Allison since he returned to his previous position as Technical Director. [2] The car is driven by returning drivers George Russell and 7-time World Drivers' Champion Lewis Hamilton, who is in his final season with the team. [3] [4]

Background and design

Mercedes finished second in the 2023 season with the W14, behind Red Bull, and only narrowly finishing ahead of Ferrari by 3 points. [5]

Team Principal Toto Wolff stated that the team would change the concept for the W15, including the way they laid out the chassis, weight distribution, and aerodynamics. Wolff added that changing almost all components could give the team its best chance to contend in front in 2024. [6] Before the off-season break, Hamilton stated the team's mood was "positive", and he had an opportunity to check the progress of the W15's development in their wind tunnel, despite unable to pinpoint on where the team is with the new car. [7] [ clarification needed ]

Technical Director James Allison labelled the W15 project as "ambitious" and stated the team had made a lot of progress with the car over the winter. [8] Allison later clarified that the late introduction of sidepods starting from the 2023 Monaco Grand Prix wasn't the main feature that sealed their shortcomings in 2023, and added that the W15 will look significantly different from its predecessors. [9] [ clarification needed ] Wolff recounted that the team's simulator driver, Anthony Davidson, tested the W15 in the simulator driving it in Melbourne and spoke favorably of the results, stating "The car feels like a car for the first time in two years." [10]

The W15 was unveiled at Silverstone Circuit on 14 February. The car sported a mostly bare carbon fibre and black livery, though with a silver nose cone and their title sponsor Petronas's teal as an accent colour. [11] The car had a different sidepod shape, and the team opted to make the switch from pull-rod suspension to push-rod suspension system. The team focused on resolving W14's unpredictable axle issue. The cockpit position was also shifted further backward, something that Hamilton has been vocal about starting from their 2022 car. [12] Hamilton and Russell drove in a brief 15 km demo day at Silverstone with the first proper running held as part of their 200 km filming day in Bahrain before pre-season testing commenced. [13]

Season summary

Pre-season testing

Pre-season testing commenced on 21 February with Russell having the entire day for himself. Russell set the sixth fastest lap for the morning but would end up as the 12th fastest for the afternoon session. [14] Russell stated "The W15 felt nicer to drive compared to the W14. We will continue to maximize our time here to gather data to find the sweet spot." [15]

On Day 2, Hamilton completed over 100 laps and clocked in the third fastest time as the session went to a close. [16] After his testing duties, Hamilton confirmed his teammate's positive reception of the car and admitted that he enjoyed a productive day of testing. [17]

The team ended their pre-season testing on a good note with Russell finishing second fastest. Both drivers found the car much more stable and more predictable compared to its predecessor. Trackside engineering chief Andrew Shovlin was encouraged by the strong showing during the pre-season testing. Shovlin stated "The team has put in a lot of work to address the handling issues with the W14. So it's great to see that we have put these issues behind us." [18]

Opening rounds

The season started in Bahrain with the team setting a 1–2 in FP2. [19] [ importance? ] Mercedes had a mixed qualifying session as Russell qualified third while Hamilton was ninth. [20] Russell finished the race fifth after suffering a power unit heating issue which required him to lift and coast. Hamilton finished the race seventh after suffering an issue with his seat.[ specify ] Wolff claimed the team was losing around 0.5 seconds per lap due to the engine issue, which also hampered their customer team, Williams. [21]

In the second free practice session of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, Mercedes were fined €15,000 for failing to inform Hamilton of the incoming Logan Sargeant in the Williams, which resulted in a near miss between the two. Hamilton himself received a reprimand from the stewards. [22] [ importance? ] Russell and Hamilton qualified seventh and eighth. [23] Hamilton gambled by not pitting due to an early safety car, running as high as third and defending against Oscar Piastri for 20 laps. Russell finished the race sixth, 40 seconds behind winner Max Verstappen. Hamilton stated, "It's definitely not fun finishing ninth despite I'm pushing as hard as I could, but we were lacking in the high-speed sections." [24]

In the Australian Grand Prix, Hamilton was knocked out of Q2 in Australia for the first time since its 2010 edition. Russell qualified seventh, maintaining his Q3 appearance for the third consecutive race weekends. [25] In the race, Hamilton retired early due to a power unit failure while Russell crashed out in a penultimate lap incident with Fernando Alonso. The result made Wolff "wanted to punch himself in the nose." [26] The race marked the first double DNF for the team since the 2018 Austrian Grand Prix.

In Japan, Hamilton qualified seventh and Russell ninth, [27] and after swapping positions during the race finished ninth and seventh respectively. [28]

During sprint qualifying for the Chinese Grand Prix, Hamilton qualified second, while Russell qualified eleventh. [29] During the sprint race, Hamilton overtook polesitter Lando Norris in the first corner and held the lead for a couple of laps before being overtaken by Verstappen. Hamilton finished the sprint in second place. Russell finished eighth. [30] Hamilton qualified eighteenth for the race, and Russell qualified eighth. [31] During the race, Hamilton recovered to finish ninth and Russell finished sixth. [32]

In the Miami sprint weekend, Russell and Hamilton were knocked out on SQ2 and started the sprint race from 11th and 12th on the grid respectively. [33] In the sprint, Hamilton was penalized by the stewards with a 20-second time penalty for speeding in the pit lane during a Safety Car period, dropping him to 16th. Russell finished the sprint in 12th. [34] Hamilton finished the main race in sixth, with Russell finishing eighth. [35]

European and Canadian rounds

Mercedes brought upgrades for the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix consisting of a revised floor and brake duct, and a new rear and beam wing. [36] Russell qualified sixth and Hamilton eighth. [37] Hamilton took seventh place at the start, but neither driver made further progress in the race. Russell was pitted late for a new set of mediums, effectively swapping positions with Hamilton, with the former finishing behind but with the fastest lap at hand. [38]

In Monaco, both Mercedes drivers enjoyed their free practice session and set competitive times. [39] [ importance? ] In qualifying, Russell out-qualified Hamilton with the former starting from fifth while the latter from seventh. [40] During the race, neither driver were able to improve on their starting positions. Wolff claimed there was a miscommunication when delivering a message to Hamilton to undercut Verstappen. Hamilton set the fastest lap. [41]

In Canada, Russell qualified on pole position, setting an identical time of 1:12:00 with Verstappen. Hamilton qualified seventh. [42] The race started with a wet conditions and Russell managed to hold on to the lead from Verstappen at the early stages but made mistakes that allowed both Verstappen and Norris to catch up. As the race fully dried up, Hamilton was third and was on course for a podium finish, before Russell overtook him for that place. Russell's third place was the team's first podium of the season. Hamilton finished fourth with the fastest lap. [43] Hamilton would later criticize his race as one of the worst of his career for failing to capitalize on the car's competitiveness in Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. [44]
