One more proof of the challenge posed by the layout of the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve. Lewis Hamilton admitted that he tried several trajectories during the Portuguese GP:
“I felt during the race that I was learning, lap after lap, more about the circuit”, said Hamilton “I was testing several different lines and discovering new lines that worked well. The wind direction was very, very tricky, lots of crosswinds, headwinds and headwinds and there were some positions that we could use to our advantage and others that got in the way. I think the key is when we have a headwind, is to minimize the loss during this phase. Tuning was something I really focused on. It was less about the qualifying setup and more about the race setup and I think that allowed me to be better. I felt like I was going faster and faster during the race, but I had to keep up with these tires. That was really the key. “
The AIA was a great challenge for the drivers, perhaps the biggest this season. One more proof of the quality of this infrastructure.
