Lewis Hamilton was pleased with McLaren’s running in Barcelona on day three, despite a minor mechanical issue.
The Brit managed to complete 92 laps as well as setting the third quickest time of the session.
He spent much of the morning focusing on shorter runs, however his programme was cut short before lunch to correct a minor mechanical issue.
In the afternoon, he conducted longer runs, evaluating tyre behaviour over the course of a stint.
“This was a positive day: we’ve been focusing on our programme, trying to complete as many laps as possible, improve reliability and understand the Pirelli tyres. We’re learning more and more about them every day,” said the McLaren driver.
“We’ve had a few technical issues with this car, but the guys have been working incredibly to rectify them. To get more than 90 laps under my belt today was a big positive, and I’m looking forward to a trouble-free day tomorrow.”
