As preseason testing came to a close at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, a tumultuous Day 3 featured rain, fire and a familiar name taking the fastest lap.
Lewis Hamilton drove a 1:19.138 as Mercedes finished the day 1-2 and accumulated a combined 160 trips around the circuit. George Russell, who recently joined the team, was just 0.095 seconds behind Hamilton.
But even though he clocked the fastest time of the three-day mad dash, Hamilton highlighted how there’s still work to be done.
“It’s been an interesting few days,” he said to the media on Friday evening.
