The Mercedes did not perform well in the days of the Grand Duke, but six-time world champion Lewis Hamilton found no performance in cheese.
Mercedes Lewis Hamilton was sixth and Valtteri Bottas was ninth in the worst time in the hybrid era of 2014, at least if you look at the best position. The 2013 Italian Grand Duke has never turned around, so neither car will do its best.
Valtteri Bottas believes that by switching to intermediate tires only in the middle of Q3, all opportunities for the role are lost, and Lewis Hamilton is not sad about the poor result because he did his best.
Bottas finished ahead of Hamilton in mg in Q1, but was eliminated from the team in Q2 and Q3. According to the Finnish driver, they were unable to bring the tires to a good enough range, which clouded their fate.
“It was difficult to get the tires ready for use or to warm them up properly,” he said. Sky sportsnak. – We made a full deal with it, and today was worse because of the circumstances. In Q3, when the tires were changed, we only had two tires, and that was not enough to warm them up. Ms.’s teams did a better job of this training. “
At the beginning of Q3, only Esteban Ocon and Sergio Pérez brought intermediate tires to the layer, the others tested with kk sidewall tires. This did not turn out to be a good decision, but the The Finnish pilot cannot say if if we had read this before, there would have been a possibility of being one of the first starting places. “Maybe if we go for the interests at the beginning, but I don’t know, because other cars behaved much better than us.”
Lewis Hamilton, who leads the other Mercedes, lost a bit in Q1, but eventually made it to 14th position. He went on smoothly from Q2, but lost Lance Stroll’s pole position by more than 5 seconds. Instead, the six-time world champion was not disappointed.
“I didn’t have enough grip,” he said. – We gave it our all, but it was so long. It’s terrible to drive in this pound like it’s on ice, but for whatever reason some of us were able to warm up the tires better than us. In the end, we all suffer, but someone is better than others. n I did everything I could, I never tried, I didn’t make a mistake, so I’m completely relieved. “
The British title has no reason to be disappointed in this regard, as it would mathematically secure the World Championship title on Sunday with this result. To get this, Bottas must score at least 8 points more than a team.
