Lewis Hamilton says Mercedes’ revised Austin floor is one of the first Formula 1 upgrades for a while where he has been able to feel an improvement.
The seven-time world champion has secured an encouraging third on the grid for the United States Grand Prix, as he made the most of the latest changes from his team to end up behind Charles Leclerc and Lando Norris in qualifying. While Mercedes played down the potential of the new floor ahead of running, claiming it is more about understandings for its 2024 car, Hamilton has a different perspective.

And he added that progress was testament to the efforts being made back at Mercedes’ Brackley factory to deliver a quicker W14. “I’m really grateful for the improvements that the team have made with the car,” he said.
