Mercedes racer Lewis Hamilton in Valtteri Bottas ter McLaren racer Carlos Sainz they suffered damage to their tires in the last two laps. Hamilton he won the race even though he crossed the finish line with a destroyed front left tire.
"We will investigate in detail what happened in the last rounds,”He said after the race Mario isola, sports boss Pirelli. "It’s a little early now for any conclusions.“The circumstances of the race point to a combination of heavy tire wear and fine particles on the trackwhen they were left Kimi Raikkonen and others, both Isola. “It could be a big wear and tear as the tires with 38 laps and more are quite worn. I am not claiming, however, that the wear and tear was the cause of these injuries. They could have been fragments from Kimi’s front wing and also a few others. Therefore, we want to investigate not only the damaged tires, but also all the other used tires that have been used in the last few laps of the race to understand the injuries or to find another possible indication of what happened."
Island he says some racers had the wear rate of their tires very close 100 percent. He wants to end the investigation quickly, as he will be on this track this weekend next race, this time with a softer combination of tires. “We have the opportunity to do some analysis in our labs here at the racetrack. Clearly, we don’t have much time to continue the investigation, as we already have the next race in less than a week. That is why we need to reach a conclusion as soon as possible. The goal is for this to happen by Tuesday at the latest," Ends Italian.
