Martin Brundle's verdict on Mercedes' W15 F1 car after the Australian Grand Prix.
Mercedes have endured a miserable start to the 2025 F1 season, with a best finish of P5 at the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix.
Not only is the Mercedes uncompetitive relative to the Red Bull and Ferrari, it looks a nightmare to drive on track, especially in high-speed corners.“When I was out on track on Friday it appeared to me that Lewis Hamilton’s Merc was perhaps the most difficult to drive,” he wrote in his“For the third consecutive season, they haven’t hit the sweet spot with this era of ground-effect cars, and then can’t seem to contain the unpredictability of performance thereafter.
“And as often happens in such circumstances, reliability also went out of the window with a bang for Hamilton’s power unit.”It seems Mercedes have struggled with inconsistency so far in 2024.
