Formula 1 | Hamilton satisfied after free practice in Turkey: "Good feeling with the track" [VIDEO]

Great satisfaction for Lewis Hamilton at the end of the first day of free practice valid for the Turkish Grand Prix, the 16th round of the 2021 Formula 1 world championship. Interviewed by Sky Sport F1 HD, the Englishman from Mercedes promoted the potential shown with flying colors from the W12 at Istanbul Park, specifying how the team's focus is concentrating on tire management and race pace, given that the installation of the fourth thermal unit of the season in the car will force it to serve a ten-place penalty on the grid.

Hamilton, we remember, concluded today's free practice in first position, ahead of Charles Leclerc's Ferrari and teammate Valtteri Bottas. Max Verstappen was only fifth, struggling with a less than perfect feeling with the RB16B. See you tomorrow, 12.00, for the third and final free practice session from Istanbul Park. Teams and drivers will have an hour available to prepare for the qualifying which will take place at 14.00 pm.
