2022 British Grand Prix - Friday An encouraging start to the weekend for the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team at Silverstone A rain-disrupted first practice session saw limited running with Lewis only one of ten drivers to register a time, going second-quickest on the Soft tyre as the track began to dry in the closing stages.

The team introduced a number of updates here at Silverstone including changes to the floor...

2022 Canadian Grand Prix - Sunday A satisfying P3 and P4 for the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team at the 2022 Canada Grand Prix Lewis took his second podium of the season finishing in third place, just ahead of George who took P4 to complete a solid team effort under blue skies in Montreal.

A VSC on lap 9 presented opportunity: Lewis ran opposite to ALO in front and boxed for fresh rubber, taking advantage of the lessened time penalty. A second VSC on lap 20 provided George his own opportunity of a cheap stop and he re-joined once again behind Lewis in P5 but...
