Mercedes’ Trackside Engineering Director Andrew Shovlin says Lewis Hamilton is “determined to keep going, keep winning races, keep adding to his record”.
After Lewis Hamilton’s brilliant final drive for Mercedes in Abu Dhabi, which saw his start from P16 and finish in P4, the team’s Trackside Engineering Director Andrew Shovlin heavily praised the Briton.
“You saw in Vegas how good he is at chasing down a gap,” Shovlin said.
“He has been quick all weekend but we let him down in qualifying. We should have started further up the grid. It was nice to finish with a really strong drive from Lewis, who has clearly still got it.
“He is determined to keep going, keep winning races, keep adding to his record. We will be cheering him on.”

Shov also reacted to Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff saying that the team was to blame for Lewis’ Q1 exit in Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Qualifying.
“To be fair, we didn’t do a good enough job. We know what we’re here to do, and the standards we operate to.
“The bigger thing was that we’d put a lot of work into making this a weekend to remember for Lewis, and we were sad that we dropped the ball,” Shovlin concluded.
