MERCEDES - USGP - Friday Notes

by Tom Beeler

Lewis sets the pace on Friday at the Circuit of the Americas

  • In the morning session, the team focused on understanding the prototype 2020 Pirelli tyres

  • Lewis finished the afternoon session on top of the time sheets with Valtteri in P5

"It was pretty cold out there on the track today, but at least the sun came out. The first session was interesting as we tried the 2020 tyres.
