Lewis Hamilton's ability to match Sergio Perez to the tenth on the medium tyre is giving Toto Wolff cause for optimism...
Lewis Hamilton matched Sergio Perez's medium-tyre pace throughout the second half of the Miami Grand Prix.
With the W15 matching the pace of the RB20 throughout the second half of the Grand Prix, Wolff was thrilled to see the obvious progress made – even if Hamilton’s pursuit of Perez ended up in defeat as he came home sixth behind the Mexican. Asked about where he feels the limitations are with the W15, and where the improvements have been made as Mercedes appear to be slowly getting to grips with their new W15, Wolff said: “I think the car is not bouncing anymore, which is good. It was really bad the last few years here.
“It has been a painful learning curve and it’s still not satisfactory but the situation is more encouraging now.” “I think George – not George, but the car, struggled with the hard tyre not getting any grip of it and you could see there was not a lot of pace,” he said. “We knew it was going to be hard to move forward; the car hasn’t been handling well around this track and we’ve struggled in the slower corners particularly,” he said.
