This was stated in statements collected by ‘RacingNews365’: “It wouldn’t be useful for us to stop evolving this car. and focus on what is coming”.

This Hamilton speech seems to have permeated the team. James Allison, a Mercedes engineer, stated that his work this year is not in vain and that it will serve by 2024: “There are improvements we would like to make to our current car that we know will also apply to the 2024 car. So we don’t have the feeling of wasting money. The feeling is that with these updates we are investing in both seasons.”
