 | Andrew Shovlin: Hamilton will always remain a friend of Mercedes, our team20-01-2025 |
The chief engineer of Mercedes said goodbye to Hamilton. Andrew Shovlin, who worked with Lewis the entire time the Briton spent with Mercedes, said that the team would miss Hamilton and especially highlighted his contribution to the team’s success.
No, it was definitely not any other Lewis. We all saw the same Lewis - the same attitude, the same determination. There were simply no results, and this undoubtedly affected the mood of all of us.
At the same time, you can remember the same Las Vegas Grand Prix, when we provided him with the car that he needed - he simply dominated on the track. And if you look at these last three years, we were all desperate to make up for what happened in the 2021 season, to right the wrong and win the championship. But in the end we were never able to build a machine with which we could do this.
We`ve been trying to do this for the past three years, but we haven`t built a proper machine. But this does not mean that we will not continue to try. But yes, when we provided him with the appropriate car, he claimed both pole positions and race victories.
We`ll miss Lewis, I`ll miss him personally. After all, Lewis played such an important role in my career.
Many people come to Formula 1 because they want to succeed. But this is not easy to achieve. Because usually everything works out in such a way that one or two teams win everything, and all the other teams only lose.
But yes, if you came to Formula 1 to succeed, you will always miss a driver like Lewis Hamilton. We all played an important role in the success of Mercedes, but Lewis`s role was very important, he allowed the team to achieve such success. So yes, he will always remain a friend of our team, a friend of Mercedes, ” Shovlin said.
