Mercedes in its own league in Hamilton’s “Mission 91”.

Valtteri Bottas set the best time of the day 0,257 seconds ahead of Lewis Hamilton, the rest of the field was already more than a second or more behind. In Hamilton's “Mission 91” race, apparently only Bottas can endanger world champion Hamilton's victory. With another race triumph, Hamilton would equal Michael Schumacher's 13.10st victory record in the premier class on Sunday (91:XNUMX p.m. CEST). “I'll try to make sure it doesn't happen this weekend,” Bottas promised faithfully and backed that up with a fantastic performance in training. The Finn had managed to do this again and again in the end and in the end his teammate Hamilton was ahead again in the race. In Sochi, Daniel Ricciardo in the Renault was already more than a second behind in third place. Neither Bottas nor Hamilton got through the day quite as planned. The Finn complained about problems in the 90-degree corners. Hamilton didn't get past 19th place in the morning and went off the track once in FP2. Ultimately, the Black Silver Arrows were clearly faster than the competition in the long runs. Vettel before the anniversary GP The two Ferraris Charles Leclerc and Sebastian Vettel finished 8th and 10th in the second training session. The German will start his 250th Formula 1 race on Sunday. Nevertheless, he sees little reason to celebrate in the year of separation from Ferrari. Rather, Vettel only has one wish: “Hopefully a better driving experience again” in his lame Ferrari is what the 33-year-old wants for his anniversary on Sunday. He doesn't have much connection to his 250th start in Formula 1. “As many people know, I don’t care much about numbers,” he said. Only nine drivers in history have completed more Grands Prix. Vettel can overtake two of them, the Italians Jarno Trulli (252) and Riccardo Patrese (256) this year.
