‘LIKE AN ICE RINK’
Lewis Hamilton was less than impressed with the surface on Istanbul’s track.
He said: “It was a bit of a disaster today, to be honest.
“This track is such a fantastic circuit and I really don’t fully, fully understand when they spend millions to redo a surface of a track.
“I know it had been sitting around for a long time [without any racing] so they probably could have just cleaned it maybe instead of waste all the money.
“And now the track is worse than Portimao was when we had the brand-new surface there. So for us at least the tyres aren’t working.
“You see it, it’s like an ice rink out there so you don’t get quite the enjoyment of the lap you would normally get of Istanbul. I don’t see that changing.
“It’s terrifying the whole way around. It’s almost like there’s wet patches all over. As you’re on the slicks, you’re accelerating and it just goes so fast because you’re way, way below the temperature window.”
