Gary Anderson: The weakness Mercedes must fix for 2018
Lewis Hamilton has been the master of maximising his package, but in the face of increased competition for 2018, Mercedes has a key car trait it needs to focus on, says ex-F1 technical director Gary Anderson…
Formula 1 2018
The 2018 Formula 1 World Championship is the 69th season of the world’s leading open-wheel single-seater series. Sanctioned by the sport’s governing body, the FIA, its 10 teams and 20 drivers will compete in 21 Grands Prix around the world, beginning in Australia on March 25 and ending in Abu Dhabi on November 25. <p>The French Grand Prix, at Circuit Paul Ricard, returns to the calendar for the first time since 2008. The German Grand Prix, at Hockenheim, reappears after a one-year absence. The Malaysian Grand Prix, run since 1999 at Sepang, has dropped off the 2018 calendar.</p> <p>The main technical change for the new season is the adoption of the Halo cockpit protection system to all cars.</p>
Lewis Hamilton won't have wanted to win it with ninth place in the Mexican Grand Prix, but he's a very worthy four-time world champion.
After all, it's not about one race - it's the whole season that counts and he has more wins than anyone else, so well done to him.
