Speaking as part of Mercedes’ post-Japanese Grand Prix debrief, trackside engineering director Andrew Shovlin said the key aim of the weekend was to make the W15 more “predictable”, which they achieved, only they found that a change in the wind or track temperature would take it back out of said desired operating window.
