F1 | Mercedes, Allison warns Red Bull: “They can't sleep peacefully”

F1 Mercedes Red Bull – Interviewed by the official Formula 1 website, James Allison spoke about the challenge between Mercedes and Red Bull in 2024, specifying how the great technical advantage shown by the RB19 in 2023 will not allow the Anglo-Austrian team, as well as Max Verstappen, to sleep peaceful dreams. According to the Technical Director of the eight-time world champion team, each team is doing its utmost to ensure the best possible leap in terms of performance, an aspect which obviously generates question marks on the real balance that fans and enthusiasts will appreciate starting from the first round of the season in Bahrain.

Allison and the warning to Red Bull

“Red Bull, despite a year of excellent performances, will not be able to sleep peacefully. Nobody knows the work that each team is carrying out within its own factory and therefore nobody can have a clear idea of ​​the balance that will be seen in Bahrain. We can imagine, but we will only see the reality of the facts in Sakhir. I think you'd have to be crazy to be confident since you only know one side of the equation, which is what was done during the winter."

Mercedes, the bet to return to the top

After the partial disasters of 2022 and 2023, let's remember, Mercedes is ready to make an important change of pace in 2024. The technical staff of the Anglo-German team, once again led by Allison after Mike Elliott's unhappy parenthesis, is working to a W15 that aims to guarantee pilots performance in line with expectations. A 360° change of pace that will involve not only the aerodynamics and mechanics, but also the power unit, which has lost a bit of luster in comparison especially with Honda and Ferrari.
