Despite a dominant victory at the Las Vegas Grand Prix, Mercedes struggled with inconsistent performance throughout the 2024 Formula 1 season. Team principal Toto Wolff admits the team is unlikely to fully eliminate these fluctuations in the upcoming season but hopes to find a wider operating window for their new car.
The Silver Arrows were unable to explain their dominance at the Las Vegas Grand Prix, where Russell led a convincing 1-2 finish, while on other weekends the team’s pace went missing.
Wolff says Mercedes are hoping that their W16 challenger will have a wider operating window than its predecessor, the W15. “You start to correlate patterns – race tracks where your car is good, practice sessions where you pushed your car, tyre compounds with which the car harmonises better, track temperatures that are good for the car.
“We won’t be able to get rid of these fluctuations completely. We will also see them next year with all the teams.”
