Lewis Hamilton’s set-up change in Azerbaijan left him “yanking” the steering wheel of his Mercedes W15.
Mercedes explained giving Lewis Hamilton a different set-up in Azerbaijan to replace the lost power unit from Australia. This change was possible because they were not in parc ferme conditions due to the pit-lane start. Hamilton moved from 7th to 11th but reached 9th due to crashes. The team had prepared him for a challenging race. Andrew Shovlin clarified that the changes were aimed at improving the car’s performance, especially in helping it turn more easily on the track. The modifications were implemented in the race to test their impact and were not experimental in nature.
