The Mercedes W15 has just been launched and the team hopes they have “solved some of the inherent problems”. Here is the full press release from the launch!
Ferrari team boss Frederic Vasseur says the calls to Carlos Sainz and Toto Wolff after his team signed Lewis Hamilton, were “one of the most difficult”.
Roberto Chinchero says “there was a big support to Lewis after Abu Dhabi 2021”, and adds “probably 80% of the Italians were supporting Lewis in that moment”.
