What's this I keep hearing of LEW giving Wolff non stop hell about the continuing no win situation, Russells big test crash because of a probable W15 test part failing catastrophically is not improving the situation soon.

Red Bull has a 2 year advantage over Mercedes , Mercedes ran 2 years with a 5H1Tbox because Wolff was too stubborn to change his 'zero side-5H1T design !
The 2024 RB20 has a head start , that's a huge advantage...'
The RB20 will be a copy&paste from the RB19 , but aerodynamically much better with less of drag and more downforce and that makes the car even faster at the straights and in the turns.
The RB20 brakes are also a priority item , with stronger brakes and better cooling you can win a lot of lap time .
That's the magic from Adrian Newey . Newey is already working from July on the RB20 .
The last upgrade that the RB19 got , was after the summerbreak with some small new bits on the floor and that was it for the remaining races of this season .
And MAX won the last race (Abu-Dhabi) with what ?
With a 20 sec. gap , he was just cruising in the last 6-7 laps to bring it home .
That's a sea of time in F1 terms !
Mercedes has to start with the 2024 W15 from ground 'below ZERO . While they never understood the behavior and balance from the W14 .
The last 2 seasons from Mercedes are a waste of time and efforts...
This means 2 years behind schedule for Mercedes and 2 years behind in development !
