Mercedes W15 Revealed - A Complete Design Overhaul
Video Overview & Insights
Mercedes has unveiled their W15 F1 challenger at Silverstone, with Toto Wolff, Lewis Hamilton and George Russell providing a very simple, straight-down-the-line launch. But with the overhauled concept behind the W15, can they start challenging for the title again, or is all hope lost until 2026? And how will Lewis' final season affect George going forward? Bryn Lucas chats with Matt Kew and Filip Cleeren to find out more.

Sorry guysI dot think so
3:56 Design Overhaul
8:30 A Simple Launch
2024 Mercedes will be 4th or a lucky 3rd(thinking of Ferrari's strategy) in constructor's championship. Mercedes has 2 years of data for an abandoned design that did not work. Mercedes also has hundreds of pictures of proven designs, but no data to support the proven designs. I think Mercedes is a least a year and a half behind Red Bull. Mercedes' engine power will carry them to 4th or 3rd.

looks like a old mclaren from 2005 or 2004
18:11 Hamilton's Last Season
23:23 Russell's Future with Mercedes
I stopped judging the car based on its looks. The funny thing is that RBR copied MBP zero pod design. My thinking is the Zero pod design was the right move for MBP but they didn't have the right suspension & floor designs.
Now RBR have the best suspension and floor and coupled it with MBP Zero pod design and I think they will show MBP how it should be done and destroy every other team this year too.
I said all that and I'm a Mercedes Fan, it's sad because they are now behind on the RBR old design and behind on the Zero pod design too.
I think Hamilton realised this and was the reason for him to exit.
Is Ferrari going to be better than every one else in 2025? No one knows, but it's scary that everyone talking about 2025 like 2024 is done and dusted with.

It’s hard to beat a team who’s above the rules, Red Bull since 2021 has been favored by the rules and they are benefiting greatly so don’t be surprised if they win the majority of races again

Very much a uphill task to beat the RBR for anyone, there is no magic bullet here for success, I see no change to winning orders till 2026. LH will see the days FA has been going through this time when you don’t get to drive the fastest car on the grid. Ferrari is all promises and if they have the fastest car on the grid it will be CL who will be the winner.

It's a wait and see for Merc! I doubt RB can easily relinquish its strong position to win races this season.

Big season for Russell. How can he be taken seriously as the team leader going forward if he loses to a Hamilton who has one foot out the door?

Guys, Merc has been doing that low key presentation the last 3 years…………. Look back!! You should know that guys!!!
@Redlingstein😂😂😂😂 thinking that Merc has the most chance to catch up…. Tell me you’re a Merc fans without telling me 😂😂😂😂
@RedlingsteinThat thing looks fast af 💨
@somescorpio1798The actual font wing and not the press release wing is genius
@johnnicholson7444Not a Mercedes fan, but credit where its due; it does look good. Aston beats it though for pure sex appeal.
@AP-4547Team leader Russell has a long ways to go don't fool yourselves
@deusaero5195Hopefully this will be a championship winning car & Russel being crowned champion 😊 anything to take the wind away from Hamiltons sails
@DaveBates-w9nI prefer the Silver-Black gradient, this looks fantastic. The all black cars were dreadful looking, and I hope they never ever come back.
@SpeedRacer_IRLMasi and FIA were prepared to do anything to stop Hamilton, magic made no difference....
@julianmadubuko531SHAME YOU GOT THE WRONG W15 IN YOUR PICTURE 😂😂 COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FRONT WING!! ON THE W15 😂😂😂 DOHHHH SCHOOL BOY
@dannybartlett4225Stop jerking around and do the news piece everybody is talking about... 😜
@f1nggyHopefully a car worthy of Sir Lewis.
@Daz5TubeIt reminds of the the early McLaren west livery, I like it 🔥
@davie-c5524theyve done the right thing. Create a car that is DRIVEABLE. Those two drivers can find the rest.
@CameronGillespieeYou definitely selling us that this season is going to be boring
@FootballCrazy.939Another black joke
@richardashton5015i cant see merc switching concepts fully and being able to match red bull, i even put them further back than mclaren ferrari and aston
@Tonythomas19Best looking new livery out of all the cars revealed
@BeemstarrI have had enough of YouTube presenters being recorded on Teams from their back bedroom!
@Surtees-ffThese media kiddos are an embarrassment to Autosport.
Zero technical knowledge, zero f1 experience, and very little insight.
Autosport must be financially ruined if this is all the company can afford.
F1 is always exciting, it's just that some of you can't see anybody but ur driver/team winning the race/championship. Ur disappointments are not F1's concern, stop trying to make it as one.
@obscuraapitPlease, fix your audio, this is impossible to listen to, the mic popping is unbearable, move the mic away from your mouth and stop talking into the side of it, that's not how that piece of kit works. how can you possibly do tech analysis of an f1 car and not know how a microphone works?
@williamscalzitti217I think it looks fantastic 👌
@benjaminblakemore9704In some ways, it reminds me of the W07
@95nishanthI'm a Red Bull fan but this I think is the most beautiful F1 car of them all.
@Steinstra-vj7wlI think that saying the Baku mistake cost him the championship is a naive and ignorant take and honestly it’s beneath professional journalists to spread that narrative. You don’t know what would have changed down the line if he won Baku. Just check yourself
@feints7714Audio contains a ton of sub bass from a lack of a pop filter
@KebunHRussell is a baby to Lewis
Stop hyping up George
Got a lot to learn
Mercedes's DISRESPECT to Lewis Hamilton is the reason for him leaving, Michael Schumacher was never treated like Lewis in Ferrari after winning all those titles, Mercedes believed Lewis needed them more they needed Lewis they fired Valtteri Bottas and sign Russel without Lewis Approval, who signs on a new rookie when they already have a winning team, no F1 team boss does that.
@ddman10001This notion of Hamilton leaving because of data readings etc is nonesense! Hamilton will want to deliver a championship this year so that he can go to Ferrari with no added pressure! This was purely about co tract offering... not mercedes performance!
@sca6014Excuses excuses. Merc won their championships when they had a locked in engine advantage. We now have an aero formula which is why RB with Newey are dominating. Looking forward to Max handing Merc and Hamilton their ass again this year. 🤣
@regenmeister3034Here’s a thought if RB was the only team get it right the first time and everyone is copying them for to two years. Doesn’t that mean there may be a better way after accumulating a lot of data. Allison is saying don’t over design. Let the function design the car. This car doesn’t seem to have noisy lines. Let hope they took a practical but novel approach.
@gallolibre3815Best looking livery to date
@rpcorpW15 is a redbull painted like Rookit Rexona Williams.
@Uno.NumeroDid I hear James Allison is intimidating?😂😂😂
@zooski151Another Red Bull clone. Zero pod design for 2 years a complete failure.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@cosmostrek2001Yeah he needs a pop filter also the gain is a tab bit hi
@officaldjfloNo one said boring when Hamilton kept winning 7 or 8 years that was never boring max was the best thing to happen to f1
@tonyskewes9190Not yet found any video on Mclaren MCL38? What a shame!!
@tusharkathe6465Is that Massa still going?
