The W16 looks to resolve some of the issues that have plagued Mercedes over the last couple of seasons and provide a platform for them to build on with the last in this generation of machines.

Così come la Red Bull, anche la Mercedes ha concluso nella giornata di ieri il suo filming day. 200 km per Russell e Antonelli per prendere una prima confidenza con la W16, la nuova monoposto costruita a Brackley e Brixworth per la stagione 2025 di Formula 1.

All of the Silver Arrows ground-effect cars since new refutations were introduced in 2022 have been dogged by persistent troubles. The W13 was plagued by porpoising and bouncing while the W14 suffered from rear-end handling instabilities.
