On the way to the grid, Lewis Hamilton complained to the team about the unstable operation of the engine, but Mercedes chief race engineer Andrew Shovlin assured the powerplant was in perfect order.
Andrew Shovlin: “The engine is fine, and what Lewis talked about can only show up on the exit circle of the pits on the way to the grid. Once the race starts, it doesn’t.
Although it cannot be ruled out that it will rain again during the race, the first decision to make is to decide when to pit stop and understand which tires it is advisable to switch to. But for now everyone starts on intermediate tires.
I think the first stages of the race will be a bit easier to overtake than yesterday’s sprint on dry road. The problem with sprint racing is that everyone goes from start to finish with no pit stops, and even if you lose speed, you stay on the track. In this situation, the risk is much higher that you will end up in a row of cars where anyone can use DRS.
I think on a long series of circles the peloton will stretch more and we can hope it will be easier to overtake.
