James Allison says F1 teams cannot “have a technical or a sporting relationship”, so if Red Bull and AlphaTauri either one, “that is something that would cause unhappiness”.
Toto Wolff says George Russell is “a young, strong driver, racing on a team with the best driver and challenging him, trying to beat him while he learns”.
James Allison says Mercedes has “reasonable grounds to believe” that “the more spiteful characteristics of the rear end of our car will be a bit more friendly”.
James Allison says current F1 rules “have a much more sort of clear upper bound to them in the amount of lap time these cars are capable of producing”.
Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff says “Red Bull is at the forefront in terms of package, including the driver, but it will be fun to try to beat them as early as 2024”.
After it was announced that James Allison has signed a new long-term deal with Mercedes, Toto Wolff says the Briton is “the most impressive technical leader in our sport”.
