HOCKENHEIM, Germany - Lewis Hamilton went from poorly to pole at the German Grand Prix on Saturday, revealing afterwards that Mercedes had put French reserve Esteban Ocon on standby to replace him in case he felt too unwell to drive.
“I did the practice and we were prepared to be able to put the second driver in, worst-case scenario. I got through it good.” Had Ocon stepped in for Hamilton in qualifying, the championship leader would also have been forced to sit out Sunday’s race. Charles Leclerc and Sebastian Vettel had dominated practice but the former was sidelined by a fuel system problem in the top-10 shootout while Vettel failed to even set a time after an issue with his power unit’s turbocharger.
