The Mercedes struggled the entire time to find a rhythm during the time trial in Turkey, drenched in rain. Finally Lewis Hamilton to 6., Valtteri Bottas and closed on Saturday in ninth place.
According to Bottas, if Mercedes had moved into Q3 with rain tires instead of rain tires, they could have warmed up the tires better, making their starting position more elegant.
“I couldn’t keep the tires warm or bring them to the proper operating temperature – that was the case all weekend.”
When asked more about the tires, Bottas replied, “I just couldn’t get the tires to work, especially the intermediate tires, which didn’t work at all under me.
“Without temperature, tires are like plastic or ice. It means more seconds if you can get the tires to work. “
As the possibility of error was minimized due to the circumstances, the timer was “mentally exhausting” for Bottas.
“It’s very easy to make mistakes, which is mentally exhausting. You have to focus beyond strength at all times, as a mistake can be fatal. I managed to stay on the track, but it wasn’t a good time trial. “
