Mercedes plan to run their new F1 upgrades when the season resu🦩mes later this month at the 🤪Dutch Grand Prix.

After introducing a new floor - and other new parts - on Friday at the Belgian Grand Prix, Mercedes reverted back꧃ to their Silverstone-specification.

This was because Mercedes struggled for pace at Spa-Francorchamps, encoun💛tering bouncing in high-speed corners.

Initially, there were suggestions that Mercedes wﷺere hit with the bouncing probl🌃em, like Ferrari have been due to their new floor upgrade.

However, trackside engineering chief Andrew Shovlin doesn’t think the upgrades were totally to blame for their💛 problems.

“We are planning to do that,” he said&n🌞bsp;in the team’s latest post-race debrief video. “The reason we reverted the car to the Silverstone spec on Friday night was because we had a good race in Silverstone. Spa and Silverstone are not dramatically different circuits in terms of the corner speed range that you are dealing wit꧟h.

“We had clearly introduced some pro🌠blems somewhere. We think that was largely due to how we were running the car in Spa, not induced🌸 by the updates themselves.

“That was giving us a bit of bouncing in the high-speed corners, as well as a few issues 💮with the balance. Going to that Silverstone car got it all back to normal.”

It proved to be a masterstroke as168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Lewis Hamilton clinched his second victory of the 2024 F1 season after Mercedes took a 1-2 on track before 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell’s disqualification.

Mercedes will use the summer break to “look at the data” as they plan to re-inꦑtroduce them at Zandvoort.

“We have since had time to look at the data to understand what it wasꦗ that we did, and we are pretty confident that we will be going for a re-introduction in Zandvoꦯort,” he added.

Only Red Bull have won more races than Mercedes in 2024 -🍨 a remarkable turnaround given they failed to finish on the podium up until the Canadian Grand Prix in June.
