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 Formula One Team to compete in the 2024 Formula One World Championship.[1] This is the first Mercedes Formula One car fully designed by British designer and engineer James Allison since he returned to his previous position as Technical Director of Mercedes-AMG F1, swapping jobs with Mike Elliott, who had taken his place earlier.[2] The car is driven by returning drivers George Russell and 7-time FIA Formula One World Champion Lewis Hamilton, who is in his final season with the team.[3][4]
