George says Mercedes is “on an off-set strategy compared to everybody else, so we have an extra set of medium tyres tomorrow which nobody around us has”.
George says Lewis “is the biggest name in the sport and he’s still hungry”, and him staying with Mercedes is “a huge vote of confidence for everybody”.
Mercedes were not expecting to be fast at Monza, but they managed to do great damage limitation. Now they are looking forward to Singapore, a track they feel may suit their car better.
