What was opinionated by Lewis Hamilton?
“The car was good, Max did a great job on that final lap,” Lewis Hamilton admitted as quoted by GPBlogs. “Through practice, or FP3 at least, into qualifying, the car was feeling solid. Through qualifying it felt harder to gain speed.
“Then the last two laps weren’t easy to really pull out the time. I don’t know if it is track temp or what. The last lap was okay. I can’t complain, but of course wish we were a bit quicker today. No [tow at Mercedes], it wasn’t discussed. We’ve never done that [given a tow]” concluded the 36-years-old Brit ace driver.
Having said that, Mercedes still has work to do to seize the world championship as well, with Sergio Perez starting from P4, Valtteri Bottas needs to put his best work to ensure that he competes the race with the most points he is able to register against his name.
