While Hamilton had endured the tricky rear of the W14 that left him lacking confidence at times, he was also not happy last year with the seating position.
Speaking during the early 2023 races, Hamilton said: “I don't know if people know, but we sit closer to the front wheels than all the other drivers. Our cockpit is too close to the front.
“When you're driving, you feel like you're sitting on the front wheels, which is one of the worst feelings to feel when you're driving a car.
"What that does is it really changes the attitude of the car and how you perceive its movement. It makes it harder to predict compared to when you're further back and you're sitting closer, more centre. It's just something I really struggle with.”
As part of a raft of changes that Mercedes has made for its new W15 F1 car, early images point to the squad having responded to Hamilton complaints and shifted the driver back relative to the front wheels.
