Lewis Hamilton’s two second places remain Mercedes’ best results in 2024. His partner, George Russell, cited the weak side of the W14 car, which engineers continue to work to eliminate.
George Russell: “We are trying very hard to improve the balance of the car in the corners. Lewis and I want to have more confidence in the behavior of the rear of the car, so that you can start from the pits every weekend from the first lap.
Red Bull has been very good at this all season long: on the first lap of the race weekend, their drivers push to the limit, without fear of crashing the car or making a U-turn. We strive for the same, but for this it is necessary to improve the balance.
In general, there are small things that can be improved in many areas. If you manage to regain five hundredths here, and five hundredths there, then suddenly it turns out that the car is showing a good lap time. That’s what we’re working on right now.”
