BARCELONA - Lewis Hamilton’s Spanish Grand Prix qualifying was affected by a battery problem, Mercedes principal Toto Wolff said on Saturday after the reigning champion lost out to team mate Valtteri Bottas in the battle for pole position.
Championship leader Bottas beat the Briton, who had been on pole at the Circuit de Catalunya for the past three seasons, by a hefty 0.634 seconds. “Normally you need the cool down lap to recharge the battery, that’s why he ended up in the garage with a battery that wasn’t full.” Mercedes have had one-two finishes in the first four races of the season and look likely to make it five, providing they avoid any coming together.
