Mercedes optimistic about Friday’s results

The Mercedes chief engineer is cautiously optimistic about Friday’s results, as Lewis Hamilton showed the second time of the day on the updated car…

Andrew Shovlin: “There is a feeling that we have taken a step forward as we are usually far from the leaders on Fridays.

Tomorrow Ferrari and Red Bull will probably improve, but a good pace on a long series of laps makes us optimistic. Usually we give up about half a second on the circle or even seven or eight tenths, but here it is not. Maybe it’s the track that fits our car.

We still have a lot of work to do, the build is still going strong, but I hope these new items will point us in the right direction. In the ninth corner there are problems with the build-up, in the 15th we will cover them in more detail when we meet at the briefing. Hopefully we’ll add more tomorrow.”
