A team engineer has revealed there are “encouraging signs” for Mercedes ahead of the Miami Grand Prix. But now Mercedes’ Trackside Engineering Director Andrew Shovlin has revealed that progress on the issue is being made, and there could be new parts on the car by the time the Miami GP rolls around. “We are hoping to bring parts to the car soon, maybe even Miami, where we can hopefully see progress on this issue. Porpoising issues at Mercedes mean Hamilton has not been able to get anywhere near the likes of Ferrari and Red Bull. But new developments at Mercedes could see Hamilton and Russell fire themselves into contention in Miami on May 8.
