Mercedes’ Technical Director James Allison says “if you try and read into that stuff that isn’t there, like somehow [Lewis Hamilton’s] got a systematic disadvantage on qualifying day, that’s not true and not fair”.
In recent weeks, a portion of Lewis Hamilton‘s fans have become very loud in their suggestions that Lewis is being treated unfairly by Mercedes.
Some are even saying that Mercedes could be doing something to purposely slow Lewis down.
During his appearance of the F1 Nation podcast, Mercedes’ Technical Director James Allison completely dismissed these claims.
“I think that if you try and read into that stuff that isn’t there, like somehow he’s got a systematic disadvantage on qualifying day, that’s not true and not fair,” the Briton said.

Allison then again explained why the only available upgraded front wing was put on George Russell’s car in Monaco.
“On one occasion this year and famously in Monaco, they had a different front wing on the car because we only had one available and we took the decision that we would get that wing on the car as soon as we could, and it had to go to one or the other.
“We had the conversation and Lewis said: ‘No, I’ll let George have it,’” Allison concluded.
