Mercedes have unveiled a W15 very different in appearance from its two predecessors as they seek to close down the performance gap to Red Bull they have suffered ever since these regulations came into being two years ago.
The visual stand-out differences are around the totally reconfigured sidepod shape, a new pushrod operation for the rear suspension (replacing the previous pull-rod) and the moving of the cockpit position further back, something which Lewis Hamilton has been pushing for ever since first driving the ’22 car. There are changes also to the way the new front wing is mounted to the nose and changes to the rear wing, chasing better straight-line speed boost from the DRS. What we cannot see is that Mercedes have built a completely new monocoque and gearbox casing to achieve the bodywork and floor changes they targeted.
