In 2016, Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg made their relationship more complicated around the Barcelona track. With Valtteri Bottas and Hamilton starting on the front row of the grid this year, Toto Wolff has a flashback but he's confident the result won't be the same. 

"I'm a bit nervous, that's the right state of mind I think. We won't be coming back to 2016, these guys are different so I'm confident. But we might have a little chat about that later," Wolff told Sky Sports. 

Hamilton finished the session 0.600 behind his teammate. Bottas blew the field away, but Wolff insists the British driver was hampered before he left the garage. 

“It was a bit of a difficult session for Lewis. He was unable to charge his battery due to the time he was on the road. The gap was considerable, but in certain turns, we just lost some time. It is important that we are on P1 and P2, because catching up here is difficult," Wolff added.
