Anthony Davidson believes it is a “luxury” for Mercedes that Lewis Hamilton and George Russell are both making the same demands about the F1 car changes they want to see.
After finishing a distant fifth with teammate Russell seventh at the Japanese Grand Prix, Hamilton said Mercedes need to deliver the “greatest six months of development that we’ve ever had” if they are going to be able to fight with Red Bull in 2024.
"There are things that I've asked for that we've gone in part of the direction for next year,” Hamilton said after the race, before adding: “I think all the points that George and I give have been fully listened to.” “We are hearing that the Ferrari drivers, for example, [Carlos] Sainz and [Charles] Leclerc, their styles are quite different apparently and that makes it very difficult for the team to know which direction to go in, in terms of aero shaping, or mechanical design.
