F1 | Mercedes, Hamilton ready to start from the back in the next Abu Dhabi GP?
The technicians are apparently evaluating a replacement of the power unit after the strong heat in Interlagos
According to what was reported by 'La Gazzetta dello Sport', Lewis Hamilton could start from the back of the grid in the next Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, the last round of this 2018 Formula 1 world championship.
According to what was declared by the Italian newspaper, the technicians in Brixworth would have analyzed the unit used at Interlagos over the last few years, highlighting inconsistencies regarding some values. A strong heat taken in Brazil, in fact, would have caused some damage within the unit, an aspect that the Anglo-German team would be evaluating from a Yas Marina perspective.
So the hypothesis of a replacement is taking shape more and more, especially after the conquest of both world titles, with the Englishman who would be forced to mount the fourth power unit of the season and therefore start from the back. The news has not yet been confirmed by the technicians in Brixworth, but it is reasonable to expect news over the next few days.
