Mercedes AMG Petronas 2019 Spanish Grand Prix – Friday
Press release available only in original language.
Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport top the timesheets on the first day in Barcelona
- Valtteri set the fastest time in the morning session with Lewis in P4
- In FP2, Valtteri topped the timesheets again with Lewis in P2
- The team focused on proving out some of the upgrades it brought to Spain as well as understanding the tyre behaviour on a track that is much warmer than it during winter testing
Valtteri Bottas
It’s always an interesting day when you’re bringing new parts to the car to get a feel for it and see if they bring the performance they should. The car felt really good today, completely different to how it was in winter testing, and it seems like our cornering performance has improved. The balance around the lap is also better, so it looks like we’ve taken the right direction since the winter. Today was good, but it’s only Friday and Ferrari are very close. It feels like we’ve made a good step forward, but we need to wait and see what tomorrow holds.
