Ferrari comes back strongly Of course, Max Verstappen’s crash prevented Mercedes from showing its true potential, but Ferrari is certainly much improved compared to Friday at the Red Bull Ring.
After giving up the first attempt due to a mistake in the third quarter, Lewis Hamilton found himself in the uncomfortable position of only having one lap available to attempt the best position on the starting grid. The British pilot will start the race in third place (0.059 faster) behind George Russell, who won the pole position, and his teammate Charles Leclerc. The result was well received by the British driver in interviews, especially considering yesterday’s starting point. Hamilton’s analysis to Sky UK: “Challenging for the win? In terms of pure speed it’s not possible, Mercedes were too fast. But maybe with strategy we have an opportunity. I think it’s a tough job to win, so we’ve got to maximize the points for the team and try to hold off one of the Mercedes if possible. It would be great if we could hold both back. We’ve done a great job this weekend because we were quite far away yesterday and we didn’t really understand why. But we made some changes and reduced it.” Unfortunately my first lap in the third quarter wasn’t perfect, but it’s great to be ahead. I hope we can be competitive.
