Tyre evaluation and set-up work for Hamilton
Lewis took over from Jenson today, continuing the development work his team-mate began yesterday: refining set-up and evaluating tyres. The morning was spent conducting shorter runs, attempting more experimental set-ups – changes that Lewis found beneficial to the car’s balance.
The different set-up changes caused several lengthy turnarounds in the morning before Lewis could concentrate on a single long-distance run in the afternoon – which was punctuated by several late red-flag periods. Jenson is back in the car tomorrow, conducting further fine-tuning of MP4-25.
