Mercedes fix Lewis Hamilton's car with tape as piece flies off during F1 testing

Mercedes mechanics had to use tape as a quick fix for Lewis Hamilton's car after a piece of the floor flew off during Friday morning's pre-season testing session.

The first of the three days went off without a hitch for Mercedes. Team boss Toto Wolff was even speaking very positively about their new car's performance, suggesting it might be good enough to propel Hamilton and George Russell into the title fight this year.
