Toto Wolff says Mercedes decided to pull out of Formula E and DTM to “put the resources into F1, rather than being distracted and dilutive for the other things”.
McLaren’s technical boss James Key says “with the progress that Mercedes have made”, it does leave the ‘zero sidepod’ approach “open as a possibility”.
Marko says Red Bull should fear Mercedes more than Ferrari, and adds Red Bull’s situation is “not like that of Mercedes at the beginning of the hybrid era”.
Lewis says he’s “been mostly off social media to focus on my health and well being”, but he returned after receiving “the news of the loss of a dear friend”.
