The Mercedes W14 has undergone a great many changes with more to come but the seating position won't be one of them... F1 Hamilton Formula1
Speaking earlier in 2023, Hamilton explained why he didn’t enjoy sitting so far forward in the monocoque.“[But] we sit closer to the front wheels than all the other drivers. You feel like you’re sitting on the front wheels which is one of the worst feelings to feel when you’re driving a car.Lewis Hamilton pleased with direction of Mercedes concept change
Despite his ongoing concerns about his seat ergonomics, Hamilton made it clear that he’s thrilled about the direction the new Mercedes upgrades have taken the car. “The new suspension was a real positive for me,” he said. “It gave me a lot more confidence [in Monaco and Barcelona] so I’m hoping that translates to [future races].”
“I think we’ve taken note of where we are and where we’ve gone wrong, and now we’re slowly chipping away and trying to navigate our way back to the front. It’s just a long process, unfortunately.“I mean it’s not been my decision to go that way. It’s the input that we’ve been having as a team, both George and I, over the past year,” he explained.
“If you look at the Red Bulls, the places where they get on the power earlier and the speed they can take through the corners is just because they have a much stronger rear end.
