The Mercedes-AMG F1 W15 E Performance, commonly referred to as the Mercedes W15, is a Formula One racing car designed and built by the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team to compete in the 2024 Formula One World Championship.[1]
This is the first Mercedes Formula One car fully designed under British designer and engineer James Allison since his return to the role of Technical Director in 2023.[2] The car is driven by returning drivers George Russell and 7-time World Drivers' Champion Lewis Hamilton, in his final season with the team.[3][4] The car has achieved seven podiums, four fastest laps, two pole positions, and three victories, with Russell achieving victory at the Austrian Grand Prix and Hamilton winning the British Grand Prix and the Belgian Grand Prix.
