Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton said the Italian Grand Prix time trial will be tight, but it will be a “nightmare” to make the last corner before the fastest laps.
The FIA after the first free practice of the Italian Grand Prix warned the runners because they were moving too slow And one for the rest of the weekend the maximum time is set, in which the pilots cannot be slower.
The reason for the slowness is that the drivers are going upwind, which could be an advantage at the Monza circuit.
In last year’s Italian Grand Prix time trial, for example several drivers failed to start their last lap in Q3because the field was so slow that they just didn’t make their fast lap.
“It has been difficult in the past,” Hamilton said of the incident. “We couldn’t finish our last lap last year. So I think it will be interesting. “
“I heard that they set a maximum time that we have to meet at the start circuit. That might help. But I think The nightmare will be the last turn when everyone tries to get ready for their lap.. It will be difficult “.
Regarding the performance of Mercedes, Hamilton feels they have made progress during the day – The second session was won by the Briton 2.6 tenths of a second ahead of his teammate Valtteri Bottas, while third-placed Lando Norris was already 9 tenths of a second.
“It seems we have progressed to the second after the first free practice,” he said. It wasn’t good in the first training session, but it was because the holding force was low and we slipped a lot. “
“In the second training session, we took a few steps in the right direction. I think, will be close among many of us. ”
