Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
Doesn't sound like someone planning to stick around.
Didn’t Cyril already say Renault were not interested in Fernando?
With Leclerc looking likely for Kimi's seat I'm guessing MB, RB and Renault will all retain their drivers. Not sure that leaves anywhere for either McLaren driver to go

Mclaren’s problems are that the same engine is hoovering up wins and podiums= they are making their own problems.

abd yes, it’s in the technical and sporting regulations.

Lowe is adamant however that Williams, as a Mercedes customer, does not enjoy the specific and timely power unit advantage, believing its regular mention is just a subtle component of the team's mind games.
"It’s interesting to wind up others to perhaps suggest there is one but there isn’t," insists the Grove-based outfit's technical director and partner. "We all get the same. I am sure of that. But it’s still worth winding up certain others.
I can't see why Hamilton would lie (the paddock is full of engineers who would see through it) and you can clearly see that in Q3 the Mercedes works team has a major advantage. Ferrari also seem to have a qualifying mode. Horner wouldn't be moaning about something that doesn't exist.

That interview is not with Claire Williams and it's talking about the opposite of what you said it is. In fact it's Williams denying any secret modes.
Do you have a link to the actual interview that you mentioned in the first place?
The specific allegation being made here is that there are secret modes that only Mercedes have. That would be against the rules and a very serious allegation. None of the links given support that allegation. Perhaps Mercedes keep the best engines for themselves when they dyno them. But they are required to be technically identical in design and operation. That's in the rules for 2018. Imagine the furore if they were found to be cheating.
The reason this comes up is because Mercedes is the dominant team with the Mercedes engine. If the theory held water, Renault would be the dominant team with the Renault engine because they would know how to get more power. Which they are not.
A very quick perusal of speed trap data indicates it's not top speeds that Mercedes are using to win - it must be the all-round package of grip, aero and power. Bizarrely enough Hamilton was the slowest man across the finish line in France, but he won the race all the same.
