After Mercedes introduced a new floor for the W14, Lewis found a new confidence in the performance of his car. Despite this, the US GP ended in heartbreak.
After getting disqualified from the US GP, Lewis says he’s “heard from several different sources that there were a lot of other cars that were also illegal”.
James says the “hurt, disappointment and frustration” Mercedes feels after Lewis’ DQ, “will pass to be replaced by the sunny optimism of knowing that the car looked bright on this upgrade package”.
