From “lost faith” in Mercedes to “can’t say” if he now regrets joining Ferrari, at least watching Lewis Hamilton’s decision play out will be “exciting” says Helmut Marko – but they have lost someone “important” in Enrico Cardile.

While Alonso remains comfortably ahead in the standings, it hasn’t been as comfortable…

Newey has been a man in demand since announcing his departure from Red Bull in May. One of the many interested parties were the Prancing Horse, where, like Hamilton, he’s never worked.
