Lewis Hamilton is in the perfect position to achieve his goal of winning an eighth world championship following the latest contract extension by Mercedes management.
When Mercedes decided to make a cabinet reshuffle midway through the 2023 season, you should have known something was going on behind the scenes.
Mike Elliott, who replaced James Allison in the team’s technical leadership in 2021, has moved into the broader role of Chief Technology Officer.
This was seen as a relegation as Mercedes dropped to second place, a long way from the championship leaders.
Elliott left Mercedes after six months, having worked for the Brackley-based company for 11 years.
