Mercedes reveal issue with Lewis Hamilton’s W14 compromised Baku setup workTeams were already up against it to nail their setup for the Baku weekend, and for Mercedes a problem on Lewis Hamilton’s car only made their task more difficult.
Gone is the second practice session on a Saturday morning. Now, there is just the one hour of Friday practice before heading into qualifying, which sets the grid for Sunday’s Grand Prix. It is at the end of Friday qualifying then when teams and drivers see the cars locked into parc ferme conditions, making finding that required setup on the opening day rather tricky indeed.
“You’ve only got one one-hour session of FP1 to get the car right. And that’s on a circuit that’s been resurfaced, so how the tyres are going to work and interact with that surface is different to what we might have expected.
