MERCEDES - USGP - Friday Notes

Lewis sets the pace on Friday at the Circuit of the Americas

  • In the morning session, the team focused on understanding the prototype 2020 Pirelli tyres

  • Lewis finished the afternoon session on top of the time sheets with Valtteri in P5

 

Lewis Hamilton

"It was pretty cold out there on the track today, but at least the sun came out. The first session was interesting as we tried the 2020 tyres. FP2 was more of a normal session and it actually went quite smoothly. The track is very bumpy this year – bumps can add character to a circuit, so I’m not a fan of completely smooth circuits, but the bumps here are just massive. The problem for the drivers is that we don’t have really much suspension, it doesn’t really move very much, so it feel like sitting straight on the floor and your spine takes a lot of compression."
