"There are so many moving parts at the factory, so there's not a single individual responsible for where we are, it's a collective.”Hamilton added:"I'm definitely sad to see Mike go. I have known him since my McLaren days, before I raced for McLaren he was there. I have had a great relationship with Mike. I've loved working with him, within this team. He's such an intelligent individual.
Russell added: “It was never one individual who makes or breaks success. It's always a collective. You always have a leader, someone at the helm who steers the ship.
