Mercedes 2023 F1 car launch as it happened

“I have the experience of driving last year’s car, in the new generation,” he explained.

“That means my approach to the simulator is similar to the racing drivers on track.

“I can talk about time models, how the car behaves. So accordingly we can change and adapt the simulator quickly.

“Hopefully with that, we can get the team live feedback and a set of options which will work well on track.

“I will take a similar approach, going to every weekend as if I am racing, keeping sharp.

“I will see what I can learn, what I can take away. I will be as much of a help to the team as I can be."
