Prost: “After Spa the Mercedes dynamics have changed”

Lewis Hamilton's absolute domination from the end of the holidays to today, whereas previously it was almost all love and Rosberg, has given many doubts about the strategic choices Mercedes made at a certain point in the championship. One voice among many is that of the ambassador Renault Alain Prost according to which the triggering incident was the close encounter between the two drivers in the initial stages of the Belgian GP.

“In general the situation was managed well but what happened after Spa is quite strange, the internal dynamics have changed, perhaps a preference has been established – declared the Professor to Autosport – Of course it is inevitable that in such a long season we go from being strong to having moments of weakness in which you feel like you no longer have everything under control, but here we have witnessed a real reversal. In F1, details have a certain importance and trust in the people around you is fundamental. In fact, even the slightest doubt leads you to self-destruction because it takes away your ability to manage yourself. So if Nico really felt something, then he has no chance."
