We don’t know what awaits us here, we’re preparing as best we can and we’ll see what this new section will bring. This new section should bring us closer, because it will be fewer turns for Red Bull to get ahead! Our engine is good, the team has done an incredible job with the engine, it hasn’t been a problem for us, neither power wise nor reliability wise so I hope it stays like this. The challenges will be tire temperature, having a good rear end… not bouncing too much, that’s the challenge with this car, and I hope it won’t be too much of a problem », Confided the pilot Mercedes in comments relayed by Nextgen-Auto. The first two free practice sessions were very encouraging for Hamilton. Verstappen therefore knows what to expect.
