After a great performance at the Australian Grand Prix, and with news of James Allison’s ‘return’, Mercedes can ‘attack’ the streets of Baku with renewed energy!
James Allison says “it’s quite early in the season to be diagnosing what your car is great at or what it isn’t great at, because the car’s not a fixed thing”.
James talks about the W14’s strengths and weaknesses, and says Red Bull are “going to be an extremely worthy opposition to hunt down and in due course overtake”.
Mercedes made a splash when they announced that James Allison will again become the team’s technical director. James explains what led up to this decision.
Italian F1 journalist Leo Turrini claims it is an “open secret” in F1 that Charles Leclerc is talking to Mercedes. At this point there is no indication that this is true.
Former F1 team owner Eddie Jordan says Lewis Hamilton “could bring a new sense of direction” and “eradicate a lot of the little problems Ferrari have had”.
