Ahead of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton was asked to give his thoughts on James Allison’s return as Mercedes’ Technical Director.
Last week it was revealed that Mercedes decided to return the team’s Chief Technical Officer James Allison to his previous position of Technical Director, while current TD Mike Elliot will assume the CTO role.
Allison is one of the most respected designers and engineers in Formula 1, and his return to an active role is definitely the biggest F1 story of 2023 so far.
Ahead of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton was asked to give his comments on Allison’s return.
“James has always been a part of the team,” the Briton said.

“Obviously, he was focused a little bit on another area before.
“I think having him step back in a little bit to support and work alongside Mike, I think it’s only going to strengthen the team moving forwards and he’s obviously got an amazing amount of experience.
“So I think, moving forwards, it’s just going to be great for the team, particularly with all the things we want to achieve not only on track but off track.
“I think it’s gonna be good,” Hamilton concluded.
