James Allison has revealed Mercedes are planning a “fairly substantial set of new clothes” for their W15 F1 car at the next race in Austin.

Due to this y💧ear’s unusual scheduling, F1 has a four-🐭week gap between Singapore and next month’s United States Grand Prix.

This second break perio🌄d is giving all of the t෴eams a significant amount of time to prepare new upgrades.

Mercedes are one of the teams which will bring a significant updat🎀e to next month’s race at the Circuit of the Americas.

Prior to the summer shutdown, Mercedes won th♋re🐭e of the last four races.

However, in recent round﷽s, their form has stℱuttered, particularly with Ferrari’s resurgence. 

Speaking during on thꦡe Mercedes YouTube channel in their Singapore debrief, Allison outlined the team’s plan ahead of COTA.

“Well, we’ll be trying to figure out how to mitigate what ailed us this weekend, how𒊎 to figure out how to make the tyres run better on these sort of overheating circuits, and we’ll be also doing quite a lot of work to bring our last upgrade of the season together,” he said.

“We’ve got a fairly substantial set of new clothes for the car coming for Austin that we hope will give us a decent weekend there, so we’ve got to de🥃liver all that and get ourselves ready for these last few races of the year.”

It seems Mercedes can’t get on top of making their car competitive in all s💝ituations.

In Singapore, they showed great one-lap pace with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton securing third, while they struggled on race ꦜday.

During other race𓂃 weekends, it’s usually the opposite with their best form coming on a Sunday.

“I think Sunday’s resu🐼lt was pretty difficult for the team, and Friday was sꦯignalling some of maybe what we might have expected by way of difficulty,” he added. “The anomaly really was Saturday, where we managed to get from a difficult Friday to a pretty creditable grid position.

“And there, have to give great credit to the team back at the factory, who🌟 really did help turn aroun🔯d a difficult Friday, put us much further up the grid than Friday might have suggested and give us a result that, while disappointing, was not disastrous as a consequence.

“I would say that probably the trade we made, although unwittingly, was that we improved th♚e car for single lap, forꦇ qualifying, but it was quite a painful thing then on long runs.”
