Lewis Hamilton’s so-called “rocket” engine will return to the rear of his Mercedes for the penultimate round of the 2021 world championship next weekend. “We have to win another race,” top team official Dr Helmut Marko said afterwards. “Mercedes slowed down here and that was due to them using a rear wing that could no longer flex. I can’t see them (Mercedes) taking the risk,” Marko added. “If both of them get through Saudi Arabia, hopefully with our car at the front, then the last race will be about who wins there,” said Wolff. “We have to win in Saudi Arabia, on a track that speaks completely against us,” he said. We have to win one of the last two races – it’s that simple. “It’s only between Max and Lewis – the others are nowhere,” Marko added.
