Hamilton, who starts fifth in Barcelona, said his target was to “try and get to the podium. I haven’t been on a podium for a long time”. <\/p>\n
His last podium was in Las Vegas last November, when he was driving for Mercedes.<\/p>\n
He referred to former team-mate George Russell taking the lead from fourth on the grid in Spain last year.<\/p>\n
“Long way down to turn one. We saw the start George got last year,” Hamilton said. “So, I will be trying my best to try and get a good start. And then otherwise, after that, it’s just about managing the tyres here, which is challenging.”<\/p>\n
Piastri said he was wary about “the long run to turn one, so I’ve got to make sure we try and get a good start”.<\/p>\n
He added: “It will be an interesting race still and it’s not as simple as take the lead at the start and cruise from there. It’s going to be a challenge to manage the tyres, timing your stops right. There’s going to be a lot going on.”<\/p>\n
Verstappen said: “It’s time to shine in turn one, yeah. Make it three [cars] wide for the pictures. Why not?<\/p>\n
“My long run [in Friday practice] wasn’t bad, but if you look at the difference today, it will be tough to put up a really, really good fight. But that doesn’t mean that we’re not going try.<\/p>\n
“Like Oscar said, it’s not all about the start and turn one. You need to be good on tyres. It’s a long race. A lot can happen. So, I’ll just try to maximise what I got.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
