Hamilton back in the car: “He’s back!”

In the two-year-old Silver Arrow from 2018, the Brit drove out of the pits at 13 p.m. local time (14 p.m. CEST), accompanied by a euphoric Instagram post from his team: “He's back!” However, the conditions were not what he had hoped for. It had rained for most of the morning, which is why Hamilton took to the track with rain tires. On Tuesday, Hamilton's teammate Valtteri Bottas (Finland) tested with Mercedes at Silverstone. Among other things, the new processes should be practiced under stricter hygiene rules. Bottas described the tests as “very helpful for the entire team. There are a lot of new regulations and of course we have to be very careful due to the hygiene regulations. That’s why it was good to play through everything beforehand.” Hamilton is aiming for his seventh world title this year; he could draw level with record world champion Michael Schumacher. At two races in Austria (July 5th and 12th), Hamilton, Ferrari star Sebastian Vettel and Co. will be hunting for points for the first time this season. Leclerc also does his rounds This is immediately followed by the Hungarian Grand Prix (July 19th). There are also two races on the program in Silverstone (August 2/9), followed by Formula 1 in Spain (August 15), Belgium (August 30) and Italy (September 6). Everything initially without fans on the routes - and in Corona times with reservations. By the way: Ferrari young star Charles Leclerc was also in the cockpit on Wednesday, albeit a whole size smaller. The Monegasse did his laps in a kart on a track in Lonato, Italy, on Lake Garda.
