A win in Baku would not only complete a hat-trick of victories for the Briton but would also see him overtake Mercedes team mate Nico Rosberg at the top of the standings for the first time this year. After winning the last two races in Monaco and Montreal, while cham- pionship leader Rosberg finished off the podi- um, Hamilton slashed the gap between them from 43 points to nine. If Hamilton makes it three in a row by win- ning a race billed as the ‘European Grand Prix’, Rosberg must finish second to avoid falling behind his rival, who has beaten him to the championship for the last two years. “We need to try to keep on a roll if possible,” Hamilton said after winning in Canada on Sunday for the fifth time. “Onwards and upwards, hopefully.” Rosberg, winner of the first four races of the sea- son as well as the last three of 2015, needs to hit back in Baku. He won last season’s ‘new’ race, the Mexican between the two Mercedes drivers, who have stable regulations, and that has made the com- Grand Prix that was returning for the first time clashed on the opening lap twice in the last petition tougher than ever.” Formula One teams since 1992, but Hamilton had just won his third three races, the champions are no longer in a began setting up on Tuesday for a race that, SYDNEY: In this July 26, 2014, file photo, Brumbies’ Henry Speight, center, pushes title and taken his foot off the gas. battle of their own.

After all, one of your is likely to be the world champion team at the end of it. Christian, why don’t you start? Christian HORNER: First of all, it’s great to be back in Melbourne, good to be going racing again. It seems like a long winter this one. A positive first session for us, though obviously difficult to read too much into times but you start to get an bit of an idea. You can see Mercedes taking off where they left off; they look in great shape. I think we made good progress with the car over the winter. The drivers seem happy and I’m envisaging a quite tight battle with Maurizio but I’m not sure at the moment what the delta is to Toto’s cars. Toto? Toto WOLFF: Again, like Christian said, it’s good to get started again. We’ve had a pretty good test, much better than last year. But you’re never very sure where that will end up in the first race and the first session was OK, as expected. We didn’t see the Ferraris on the tyres that we have been running, and we need a little bit more time to understand, but I would say it’s a decent start.

I felt comfortable right the way through and it was great to finally get another win at one of the real classic F1 circuits. Now, we head to another of those in Monza. It’s an awesome track – so fast and with some of the most passionate fans you’ll see anywhere in the world. I was actually at this circuit with Sir Stirling Moss earlier this year, driving the banking in his old Mercedes W 196, which was just awesome. Having that taste of what it was like for those guys back in the day really gives you a feel for the history of this place and why it became so legendary. It’s still a big challenge today, too. Fast, but really technical at the same time with some heavy braking and big kerbs to ride for the best line. Racing in Italy brings back a lot of good memories for me and I’d love to add to those this weekend, so that’s the aim. Nico Rosberg Page 2 The race in Spa was definitely disappointing. My start was not good so I need to work on that and also on finding those extra tenths in qualifying to get back on top there.

Lewis Hamilton - Last weekend was a really positive one for me. I felt strong on Friday, got the pole on Saturday and then just felt phenomenal in the car during the race. The balance was perfect and I had the speed whenever I needed it, which is everything you want as a driver. After the first five races, I could never have predicted I´d be back at the sharp end of the title fight so soon. But we´re starting to have cleaner weekends as a team and are showing real strength as a unit ““ coming through with results even when things aren´t perfect. That´s a big confidence boost for everyone. Winning is our lives ““ it´s what we work all day for and go to bed dreaming of. Of course, there´s still a very long way to go and work to be done. From my side, there´s never been a doubt in my mind in terms of what I can do with this car and I´ve shown once again that I´m just as focused as ever. I can´t wait to get to Baku, experience another new country and see what we can do out on track.

We’ve run the same programme as we run every race weekend but this time we had the whole of both sessions to work with the tyres, look at long runs, analyse setup and the countless other things you need to assess in practice which was great. We made good steps forward with the setup but, as always, there is still more time to be found. We’ll keep chipping away at it and look to improve in every area possible but the car feels great – the best I’ve ever driven here without doubt.

  • Hifive: Hamilton Y Fangio, Dos Grandes Que Hicieron Historia Con Mercedes-Benz
    @Mercedes-BenzArg #HiFive: Hamilton y Fangio, dos grandes que hicieron historia con Mercedes-Benz Lewis ganó su quinto Campeonato Mundial de Fórmula 1 y sella el quinto título consecutivo de la copa de constructores para Mercedes-AMG Petronas. Se convierte así en uno de los únicos tres conductores en haber ganado cinco o más campeonatos mundiales, después de Juan Manuel Fangio y Michael Schumacher. Dieter Zetsche, CEO mundial de la marca, recordó especialmente a Fangio, con quien compartió su paso por Mercedes-Benz Argentina. México, 29 de octubre de 2018.- Fue suficiente finalizar en la cuarta ubicación para que Lewis Hamilton, con 358 puntos y superando en 64 puntos a Vettel, levantara la copa del campeonato de pilotos y Mercedes-AMG Petronas se llevara un nuevo título mundial. Valtteri Bottas, que alcanzó la quinta posición y logró la vuelta más rápida de la carrera, finalizó el campeonato con 227 puntos. Mercedes-AMG Petronas con 585 puntos ganó así la copa de constructores superando a Ferrari que alcanzó los 530 puntos. Palabras de Dieter Zetsche, CEO de Daimler y máximo responsable de Mercedes-Benz Automóviles “Felicitaciones a Lewis Hamilton y a todo el equipo Mercedes-AMG Petronas. Ustedes juntos hicieron historia. Son los mejores de la Fórmula 1. Es raro tener la oportunidad de mirar tan de cerca a un deportista que se convertirá en leyenda. Durante mi tiempo en Mercedes- Benz Argentina, por ejemplo, aquél increíble piloto, quíntuple campeón del mundo y mi querido amigo Juan Manuel Fangio, tenía su oficina al lado de la mía. Compartir todos esos años fue un honor para mí.
