Mercedes have said 'Lewis made that decision quite simple for us', regarding who got to run the one new front wing in Monaco.
Mercedes trackside engineering director Andrew Shovlin confirmed a conversation between Lewis Hamilton and George Russell saw the latter given the team’s single upgraded front wing in Monaco over the weekend.
But with Mercedes looking to improve at every opportunity this season, Shovlin revealed the drivers asked for upgrades to be brought whenever possible, even if it means only one of each new part is available at a race weekend moving forward. “A while ago, the drivers asked why we always wait until we have got a full set? Why not just let one of us run it?
“We did agree with the drivers that where we are now, we will be happy to bring one to the track and they were both happy with that.
