Mercedes is hopeful for a better performance in the upcoming Australian Grand Prix and aims to achieve podium finishes at the event. The team is determined to reduce the gap to Red Bull and has redesigned their W15 cars for the 2024 season. Their main goals are to have cars capable of winning Grand Prix races. However, after two races, Mercedes had to lower their expectations due to two consecutive disappointing outings, where their cars proved to be unreliable.
Lewis Hamilton, the seven-time world champion, expressed his lack of confidence in the car after a disappointing Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. The team boss acknowledged that there are still unresolved issues with the car. Despite this setback, the team remains confident that they will be able to bounce back.
Toto Wolff, the team principal, is optimistic about the team and their efforts to address the car’s issues. He believes they will be able to rectify the issues before the Australian Grand Prix, with current focus on improving speed, especially in the corners. The race is still a week away, providing the team with enough time to make the necessary repairs.
In 2008, Sir Lewis Hamilton won his first Formula 1 World Championship. Since then, he has won a total of seven world championships. However, Felipe Massa, who lost the championship to Hamilton by just one point, believes he should be the rightful owner of the 2008 title. As a result, Massa has filed a lawsuit in an attempt to correct the situation. When asked about the lawsuit, Hamilton, the current title holder, spoke out to the press.
Lors du championnat de 2008, il y a eu une grande controverse autour d’une collision délibérée qui a eu lieu lors du Grand Prix de Singapour. Renault a orchestré la collision pour aider son pilote à remporter la course et a instruit un autre pilote à également collisionner. Massa, qui a été affecté négativement par la collision délibérée, croit que le manque d’une enquête adéquate sur le sujet a résulté en sa perte du championnat.
