“I think the start will be interesting tomorrow due to the change of regulations (loss of traction control), “ Hamilton said.
“Last year it was relatively easy whereas now it’s dependent on the driver, so I want to get that right. ”
“Fortunately, I am starting from the clean side of the track for once and hopefully that will help. ”
“A few corners from the end of my in-lap, I had a problem with the electronic fuel pump which forced me to stop near the pit lane and so it was impossible for me to get back to the garage to try and fix the problem, “Raikkonen said.
It was another frustrating day for Australian Mark Webber, preparing to drive in his seventh home GP. He beached the Red Bull-Renault in the gravel trap on the outside of Turn 6 and was forced out in the second stage of qualifying.
