After a somewhat low-key Tuesday and Wednesday, Mercedes emerged with the second-fastest time on the final day of pre-season testing.The headline lap times are slightly misleading in that there was a mixture of C3 and C4 tyres being used to set those times, with the latter compound around 0.6s faster than the former. Nonetheless, the final day began to reveal the pace within the new W15 design, which is so different to that of its two predecessors. Both Lewis Hamilton and George Russell have commented that in its basic feel, the W15 is a nicer, more stable drive than what they have had to work with since 2022. In particular, the unstable and unpredictable rear end seems to have been tamed – which was very much part of the brief behind the new car.
