Mercedes has found itself in a bit of a rut during the latter part of the ongoing 2024 Formula 1 season. The outfit is out of the running for the Constructors Championship but despite this, the departing Lewis Hamilton has insisted that he will give his all both on and off the track in the remaining races. The Mercedes W15 will be the base on which the 2025 challenger will be developed by Mercedes.
Keeping this in view, Lewis Hamilton is willing to help as much as possible with feedback in order to help the German team for next year. The 39-year-old will rep the gear of the Ferrari Formula from next year onwards. Ultimately every bit of input that I put in now, along with George’s, for example, is contributing to the development forwards.
But that’s the job, that’s what I’m paid for. I’m not holding anything back from any class sessions. At the end of the day, this is the team that I’ve been successful with for many, many years and I want the team to continue to have success.

The W15 has proved extremely difficult to handle since the last few events. Mercedes W15 (via IMAGO)Hamilton especially has found it extremely tough to get to grips with the car in comparison to his teammate George Russell.
I mean, it’s devastating to have these bad races in the second half of the season. But all I can say is we’re trying, we’re coming into the weekend. But it’s definitely not acceptable, it’s definitely not good enough.
