On the smooth and lightning fast circuit of Mugello, Mercedes showed again on Friday that they are a class above the rest of the field. Not only the long straights of Monza, but also in the turns of the Tuscan hills, the W11 is good.
It will go a lot faster on Saturday at Mugello
"In the first session I had quite a bit of trouble with understeer, and in the second session it was a bit better in some places. But there's still a lot of lap time to unlock," says a combative Bottas on Sky Sports.
Bottas went on to say that he enjoyed the track enormously and that the tyre wear wasn't too bad for him either. Something the Red Bull Racing drivers also mentioned. Nevertheless, he expects a tough race. Not only because of the heat and the tyres, but also because of the G-forces.
