Seems they are updates and not upgrades. Car looks unstable.

I really hope we can recover and improve somehow, but guys, was horrible to watch FP1.

The car looked a handful for both drivers, I’m sure they’re getting some mega numbers in the tunnel but out on track it’s just inducing instability. Whether or not they can control that without sacrificing their pace remains to be seen.

Bit of an evil car, both in ride and grip.  You would think the only way is up... room for improvement.  But this is Merc, and setup changes regularly go south!

As in 2022, 2023, now also this year Mercedes discovered what needs to be changed for next year to field a winning car.

Mercedes has uncovered car changes needed for F1 2025 (motorsport.com)

It’s a moving target, probably best to build a completely new car mcLaren 2013 style.

Lucky they didn't build that completely new car "Red Bull style" last year.

The inconsistency of this car is consistent. How can it be so sensitive to temperature and be on a knife edge so much. Doesn’t make sense
