When he was in the hospital recovering from his burns, Toto Wolff promised to give him the opportunity to test an F1 caras his story wouldn’t end like this in this sport.
And as the saying goes: “What is promised is a debt”, you have the opportunity to test the Mercedes W10, with which Lewis Hamilton was named champion for a whole day in 2010, at the Paul Ricard on June 29th.
