Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport expect a close fight in the heat of Bahrain

  • Valtteri finished FP1 in P3 with Lewis in P4
  • In the second session, Lewis came home in P3 with Valtteri in P4

Lewis Hamilton

It’s hard work out there for everyone; FP1 is incredibly hot, the track is at 50 degrees, so everyone is struggling with the tyres. The Ferraris have been quick from the get-go and picked up more pace from there, so it’s completely different to what we’ve seen in Melbourne. We had some issues with the balance of the car, but we’ve made improvements for FP2. At the moment it looks like the Ferraris are ahead, so we have to keep our heads down, keep working, analyse things tonight and try and come back stronger tomorrow. I think as we get to Qualifying, everything will get a little bit closer, but it is going to be a tough battle.

Valtteri Bottas

FP1 is always a bit difficult in #bahrain because the track is still a bit dusty and the track temperatures are very high, much higher than they are in Qualifying and the race. The car balance didn’t feel great in the first session, but we made some changes in between the session and the car felt much better in FP2. It looks like it’s going to be very close between us and Ferrari, they are clearly faster around here than they were in Melbourne.
