(Motorsport-Total.com) – It sounds a little bit as if everything had just been pretending. “Tomorrow we will work a bit on our form of training and do a few qualifying runs,” says Valtteri Bottas incidentally.
Was the superior best time of Bottas in the first test week, which was not reached this week neither on Wednesday nor on Thursday, not even the end of the line? He leaves the answer open.
Hamilton stops
The eyes were this Thursday primarily aimed at teammate Lewis Hamilton when he sent a letter to the drive unit in the afternoon rolled out. “It is frustrating when you only have six winter test days available and you have half a ticket in the field,” says technical manager James Allison.
Hamilton is calm: “I could only 14 Do laps, but on these Everything felt intestine. It is of course not first-rate that we couldn't complete a full test day because of this concern, but we still learned a lot today. “
” Instead of everything To be negative, let's make sure we've discovered some things that we still have to work on, and now we're going to do everything we can to fix these problems. “
Allison also speaks of “very useful data “that you could win during Hamilton’s stint can. “We are glad that we have learned more about the vehicle behavior and can rest assured that the car still has a good hurry in stormy conditions.”
He also follows the announcement: “Now we look forward to tomorrow. Then there is always time to test the softer tire compounds with both drivers and to work on the build-up and performance on one lap. “
Bottas: We found a lot
Bottas again had a problem-free morning, but optimum battle did not get his ticket either: “Today, the journey time limited due to the many red flags and wet conditions. In general it was quite intestine and positive. We found some sure things compared to the previous model.
At least in part this may also be due to the DAS machine A replace from this front? “Everything works perfectly,” replies the Finn us to have it on the vehicle. So far we have had no problems with it. “
Again he threatens the competition between the lines with another inconvenience:” Became concerns the performance, we know that we can do it even better. There are certain things about balance that we can fine-tune. But, as I have always said: we focus on u.s.self. We don't know how strong the other groups will be. “
