The weakness Mercedes must fix for 2018
Lewis Hamilton has been the master of maximising his package this season, and that's allowed him to deny Ferrari the title it craves. But in the face of increased competition for 2018, Mercedes has a key car trait it needs to focus on
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.
