According to James Allison, after two far from the best seasons, the Mercedes team has revised a number of processes and techniques related to the development of the chassis, with the result that the 2024 car will even look different from previous models.
“From the perspective of the designer or engineer responsible for the efficiency of the technology in Formula 1, the word ‘concept’ actually has nothing to do with the car,” Mercedes technical director said in an interview with Sky Sports. – It refers to the process of deciding what is ‘good’ and what is ‘bad’.
This is your method for sorting through the many solutions you could implement and finding the ones you think will improve your lap times. That. it is a method, and the machine is the result of applying such a method.
In particular, we have changed some aspects related to the analysis of aerodynamic research data and the use of CFD technologies, and in this case we can speak of an adaptation of the concept. This is what we call a ‘concept’, we follow it, and the machine is created as the final stage of applying that concept.
Of course, the results of the last two years required us to adapt our methodology – our concept, if you like – so that the outcome of this work will necessarily be different, because it will be determined by different decisions and different approaches to improve the effectiveness of our projects to judge. these decisions, figuring out what’s important and what’s not.
The day before, Mercedes announced the date for the presentation of the new car: the W15 will be presented on February 14.
