Lewis Hamilton is not worried

Back on track today at the wheel of the Mercedes W06 Hybrid, Lewis Hamilton had started his session well with the best time of the morning and the greatest number of laps completed during the first four hours. But a problem on the MGU-K of his car prevented the Briton, who has regained his full physical capacity, from returning to the track in the afternoon.

“I feel much better this week. We would have liked to have had a few more laps today, especially since the sun came out later. But sometimes those days come. I don't see this in a negative way. It's good to catch these things, whatever they are, and address them now. This means, I hope we won't suffer from it again in the first race. Testing is always difficult. Naturally, the more you drive, the more comfortable you feel, but to be honest, during the 50 laps completed today, I felt ready. I had a positive feeling in the car and it was good to get the tires working. »

The German Nico Rosberg will take over tomorrow before Hamilton returns to the seat of his car for the last time before Australia on Saturday.
