Mercedes has usually opted to start the race of medium tyres, however their drivers will start the Spanish GP on softs. Hamilton and Bottas explain why.
Mercedes managed to top both of Friday’s free practice sessions. Lewis Hamilton, Valtteri Bottas and Toto Wolff are pleased with the “best Friday so far”.
Wolff says rumours that Bottas could be replaced with Russell before the end of the season are “nonsense” and explains why Hamilton outperforms the Finn.
