Race pace dire. Hamilton nowhere, and Russell in no man’s land. Need rain tomorrow.
Merc is so slow my god, Lewis struggling to pass back marker and midfield cars and Russell just nowhere. Both Mercs finished exactly where they started....
By the way, on the last lap, he did a 12.5, which was only 2 tents slower than those 3 drivers racing hard at the top and was 3-tenths faster than what RUS did on his quickest lap. So, another argument in favor of the "free air is king" quote, after all ...
What is hilarious is the fact that raising the car for better compliance over the bumps will help them if the race tomorrow will be on a wet/damp race, although the balance is all over the place due to the lack of the second free practice session, according to HAM ... hopefully, they did some sim work done back at the factory after the sprint race in order to get the balance right ...
One thing I don`t explain: HAM set the fastest speed at the finish line - 347kph -, presumably due to a fabulous tow, but at the speed trap he recorded just the 9th speed being on par with RUS at 325kph ... maybe someone could enlighten me, please ...
