Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton steers his car during a practice session at a racetrack in Spielberg on Friday.
“It’s been a long time coming, so it feels great to feel the new car for the first time since February. “That’s difficult to say – it’s definitely looking good, but you can never take too much from practice and, if you look at some of the other teams, they were maybe down on power modes or up on power modes or fuel or whatever it may be.“So we’ll take it with a pinch of salt, try to improve the car tonight and come back with it tomorrow.”
Verstappen revealed afterwards that his performance was heavily curtailed by running with a broken front wing shortly before his Red Bull team confirmed, on a day of hectic action, that they had lodged an official protest over Mercedes’ controversial dual-axis steering system.
