Lewis Hamilton not getting carried away about Mercedes' chances in Las Vegas after completing practice double.
Following a dreadful outing in Brazil, seven-time world champion Hamilton bounced back to head both Friday practice sessions in Sin City as Mercedes made an encouraging start to the weekend. Mercedes have often made strong starts on Fridays before slipping back as the weekend progresses this season, and Hamilton is wary of a repeat.
“Pretty good. It’s the first time I’ve actually had a day like that this year I think,” Hamilton said. “The car was feeling really, really good in P1. P2, less so. So we’ve got some work to do overnight. Difficult to know exactly where we are, or why we are where we are, but really enjoyed driving the track.Despite being fastest in both practice sessions, Hamilton warned Mercedes have improvements to make with their long run pace.“We have got work to do overnight to figure out how we are going to get better race pace without losing natural pace throughout the lap.
“I’ve just got to work hard overnight not to make big changes and I hope I can get some good rest tonight.” Lewis regularly attends Grands Prix for Crash.net around the world. Often reporting on the action from the ground, Lewis tells the stories of the people who matter in the sport.
