Of course it was an ideal opportunity for racers to cast an eye on the race car of rivals. The Mercedes racers also made the most of this Lewis Hamilton in Valtteri Bottas, which focused on the main competitor, i.e. Red Bullu, and they looked at the back in great detail RB16B.
Za Hamilton doing so is not new, as the current champion often casts an eye on the interesting details of rivals. He has been known for this in the past Michael Schumacher, which is in Parc Ferme studied competitors' race cars in detail. Lewis Hamilton he is also a perfectionist and his own ”espionage”Is not limited to Parc Ferme, as he wrote in his anecdote Philipp Brädle, a former member of the Mercedes team. “Hamilton is a great spy,”Is Brakes told in his analysis for Servus TV.
"You look at everything in detail. For example, there was a scene in front of the winners ’stage where they refreshed themselves with a drink in a special room. He noticed another racing suit that had fewer cables. Of course, this is about saving weight. In Formula 1, every detail counts," so Brakes about the committed doing of the sevenfold world champion outside the race car.
Hamilton he did not do so because of personal interest or because of that somewhat angered rivals, as we can see that the racers of competing teams they look at each other their work tools. Rarely can team members take a closer look at other teams ’race cars. The racers are at Parc Ferme in this respect an exception, which makes them very an important and valuable source of information and sometimes teams do more with them than people often think.
