Yesterday rumours started circulating that Mercedes has encountered issues with the W14 during its first run, but the team says they were “without foundation”.
Mercedes has released its 2023 car (the Mercedes-AMG F1 W14 E Performance) and engine (the Mercedes-AMG F1 M14 E Performance) technical specifications.
Lewis Hamilton says the FIA’s ‘political speech ban’ doesn’t surprise him, but adds “nothing will stop me from speaking on the things I feel passionate about”.
Amid speculation that Lewis might be waiting to see how Mercedes’ car will turn out, before deciding if he wants to stay with the team, he says he doesn’t “plan on being anywhere else”.
