Lewis says he’s not leaving Mercedes because he is “unhappy” or because of “relationship issues” and adds the team has been with him “through thick and thin”.
Lewis says the Miami GP was “the best day of racing” he had this year, and adds: “We were challenging the Red Bull at the end, so to be able to race them felt great.”
Red Bull team boss Christian Horner says Adrian Newey has been cut off from all F1 activities, but “he’ll be at some races between now and the end of the year”.
