Could Lewis Hamilton Challenge Max Verstappen As Mercedes Gives Him What He Wants?

Lewis Hamilton became increasingly frustrated as time went on.
In fact, it can be understood as natural if something changes and does not meet our expectations for a while. British driver Lewis Hamilton has long dominated Formula 1, but these days it is becoming rarer and easier to win.
Victory will not be easy with Red Bull Racing and Max Verstappen’s meteoric rise and car problems. Mercedes wants to give Hamilton a special car. The 2024 F1 season is expected to be the year Hamilton can once again challenge the Dutchman and Red Bull. James Allison is back as Mercedes technical director, which seems to be good news for Hamilton. British drivers received a car tailored exactly to their preferences and settings. The 2024 W15 F1 car is based on the requirements he considered, including changing the cockpit position. He wanted to push further than W14, but he was open about W14 and never hid his desire to go further.
Allison and Mike Elliott (Chief Technologist) seem to have listened to the wishes of the drivers. It was a big disappointment in that the W15 is a completely new concept and has no relation to the W13 and W14 vehicles. Elsewhere, transmissions have been shortened to meet the requirements of modern ground-effect machines.
It was the longest ever on an F1 grid. The new car has a more aerodynamic rear end and is lighter due to mass redistribution. However, it may not be able to compete with Red Bull in other areas. Suspension is an area to focus on as Mercedes continues to use mounting systems. The shorter gearbox also changed the position of the engine, placing the driver further back and the radiator further from the front wheels. Can Hamilton finally challenge Verstappen? With the season not starting until March, F1 fans are debating what will happen in the record-breaking season. With a record 24 races on the calendar, there is plenty of exciting action.
This is certainly very attractive to anyone looking to enrich their F1 experience through betting. Many people use online betting to make their viewing experience more interesting.
Some bet on all races while others bet on the futures market. The World Cup driver has always been one of the hottest in his market and the news of the car Hamilton ordered seems to have had an impact. He increased the odds to 12/1, increasing the third place player’s odds of winning. No wonder Verstappen is the 1/4 favorite. This means many expect Verstappen to crash again. Between the two rivals at the Bahrain Grand Prix, Lando Norris leads with odds of 8/1. Given the odds at this stage, not many believe Hamilton can produce another top season. If that’s the case, we’ll have to hope this is both his best year and the Dutchman’s worst.
Mercedes needs a strong start. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that Mercedes need a strong start to the season. The team has worked hard internally to give it the best possible chance, but there is still a lot to do on the track.
Lewis Hamilton and George Russell have contracts until the end of 2025, so they need to make sure they have cars that can perform. With just over a month left in the season’s testing, they will need a fast start to compete with Red Bull from the start and win at least one championship at the end of this year’s 24 races.
