Lewis Hamilton doubles down on Mercedes demand after below-par Japanese GP qualifying


Lewis Hamilton has reiterated his desire for Mercedes to change their conceptual direction for the 2024 season and beyond after the team struggled for pace in qualifying for the Japanese Grand Prix. 

Hamilton has previously been vocal in his frustrations with the development path that Mercedes opted to take for 2023. The Brackley-based team doubled down on their ‘zeropod’ design concept this season before changing direction from Monaco onwards.

The seven-time world champion revealed earlier in the campaign that he had voiced his concerns with the issues of the W13 over the winter and advised the team to change up the design philosophy for the W14, but Mercedes opted to go against his recommendation.
