Sir Jim Ratcliffe offered his brief thoughts on Michael Carrick's tenure after he was ambushed in the paddock at the Chinese Grand Prix on Saturday. 'It's a good start, but it's a long season,' Ratcliffe added, following George Russell claiming the Australian Grand Prix last weekend, and his Mercedes team-mate Kimi Antonelli finishing second. But on the subject of whether he might be handed a contract long-term, Ratcliffe quickly added: '(I'm) not going there!' 'Clearly we're thinking about (Champions League qualification), but there's still seven or eight games to go, so still a while,' Ratcliffe continued. 'I'm really enjoying it, I love what I'm doing,' he said.
