Lewis Hamilton revealed he has switched one of his performance engineers in his team and said they were both adapting to the mid-season alteration. While not stating who it was, Hamilton said the engineer was from his “previous team”, suggesting the new hire came from Mercedes.

Ferrari Team Principal, Fred Vasseur, has signed a new long-term contract to remain in charge of the team despite an ongoing winless run in Formula 1 this season. Indeed the last Grand Prix won by the Scuderia came at Mexico City last year when Carlos Sainz finished top of the podium before he was replaced with Lewis Hamilton for the current campaign.
