An update from Mercedes

Good afternoon everybody! It’s been a massive job since yesterday to prepare the cars, with limited working hours (a total of six from end of Q to start of FP2) and limited quantities of spares.

We have swapped Lewis to the spare chassis owing to rhs damage from the accident. Both cars have different gearboxes to yesterday, from within their permitted pool.

Floors and wings have been repaired and/or swapped.PU’s have been thoroughly checked - and nothing replaced.We hope to be running mid-way through the session, if all goes smoothly from here onwards.

Norris leads the way with a 1m11.410s on the softs, 0.8s ahead of Bottas.
