Lewis Hamilton and George Russell get to try the heavily revised Mercedes this weekend in Monaco. A lot has been made of it and whether it will improve the car's competitiveness to the extent where it might influence Hamilton's decision about where his future lies – as the Ferrari rumours flared up again last week. But that's probably a false narrative. Anything can happen in F1 but the indications are that there's nothing substantial about the Hamilton-to-Ferrari story and that he will renew with Mercedes sometime between now and the beginning of next season.
Furthermore, the updates for the Mercedes this weekend – a more traditional sidepod shape to replace the 'zero pod' concept and increased anti-dive in the front suspension geometry – are unlikely to be game-changing, constrained as they are by the architecture of the original tub, which was designed around the zero pod concept. Certainly, they seem unlikely to transform it into a machine so impressive it will induce Hamilton to immediately sign on the dotted line.
