While other drivers don’t like this type of format, Hamilton has confirmed that he likes it.
Long live the Sprint
“I love short weekends – declared the seven-time world champion to journalists present in Austria – because they don’t give you much time to adapt, but at the same time you also have the possibility to make changes to the machine during the weekend“. In fact, thanks to this year’s new regulation, after the Sprint it is possible to intervene on the car’s setup and change it in view of the qualifying of the ‘long’ GP.
Hamilton also admitted how, usually, the W15 is not the best car at adapting quickly to a new track: “In Montreal, however, we immediately did well – he concluded – and this could be one of the aspects that we will evaluate tomorrow when we get on the track”.
