Lewis Hamilton says his side of the Mercedes garage have work to do to improve the handling of his car, in order to give him the best chance of being in the mix at the front in British GP qualifying.
Indeed, team boss Ross Brawn said during his appearance on Sky Sports F1's Pit Wall Live feature in P2 that the cold conditions on Friday meant that Mercedes really couldn't tell if they'd made a long-awaited breakthrough in rear-tyre preservation. "I think the lower-fuel run is reasonably representative but these are the laps now which are important, getting the balance right," Brawn said. "The balance should carry through but unfortunately the drivers won't get a good feel for how the tyres are going to behave in the race on Sunday because it will be quite different."
