Mercedes gear up for F1 2025

Mercedes are p🐬reparing for their first season without Hamilton since 2012.

Without Hamilton, M𒊎ercedes could go under the ꦕradar in 2025, particularly after a disappointing recent three seasons.

🎃Mercedes have struggled to get to grips with the ‘ground effect’ generation of cars.

W♌hile they💖 took four wins last year, they were a distant P4 in the constructors’ championship.

Their car was incredibly peaky, often only performing well in cooler condi𝓡tions or low downfo🐻rce tracks.

However, with 2026 on the horizon, a slow start to this coming season might mean they qu𒁃ickly switch their attention to next year.

Mercedes have confirmed they will launch the W16 in Bahrain on Februar🎃y 24.
