“I’d love to drive for them,’ the Briton said in January. “I’ve got
great friends and great support at Mercedes-Benz. I’ve been part of their

“Right now I am a Force India Formula One driver so the focus is there.
“But in the future I want to be winning races and I’ll make my decisions
based on that.”
