Bottas was 0.207 seconds ahead of Hamilton in second practice and was ahead in both Friday sessions. Hamilton said he was not driving well and had a lot of improvements to make for the weekend. “There are not a huge amount of changes I need to make to the car. “There are times as a racing driver there is no point changing the car because you are not driving well enough. The first and second sector are a little bit weak for me, particularly the first sector, and there is plenty to come there.”.
