Formula One 2022: What has been said?

Lewis Hamilton has demanded Mercedes act now to salvage his dwindling title dreams.

"I will be on Zoom calls with our bosses, and really trying to rally them up," said Hamilton.

"We have got some improvements that we need to make and we need everyone's support in doing so.

"It is about making sure we leave no stone unturned, that the hunger is there and we are maximising every moment.

"I will be chasing the people in the wind tunnel, the aerodynamic guys, and just looking at every single area.

"There is performance to be gained and we need it now, not in two or three races. I have got to keep that encouragement and energy high.

"I prefer to stay optimistic. There are 20 races to go. I am really hoping we can get in the fight, but with every bit of improvement we make so will Red Bull and Ferrari. It is not going to be easy. The gap is pretty big right now but there is a long way to go."
