The car's steering wheel Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes) that capt the camera this Thursday on board that is in the blido on the pilot was the matter of greater interest in the second day of the trials of the pre-season of the F1 that is being developed in the Circuit of Barcelona-Catalua.

In the absence of great times, the first four hours of rehearsals had everyone with their eyes on the screen when Lewis Hamilton appeared in a subjective image, seeing him driving the car from above his helmet. In each line, Hamilton pulled the steering wheel toward him, which was approaching his chest, and at the same time the two front wheels converged slightly. The tests of this experiment did not bring the world champion car six times in a row (1: 18.387), but encouraged the press room and the paddock the debate about its legality, something that motivates a long discussion.

The uncertainty is whether this movement of the steering wheel, which only the pilot makes in the straight lines, since in the curves it returns it to its usual position, it affects the suspension, in which case I may incur an irregularity.

The morning of this Thursday I again had a car driven by Mercedes engine as faster, as happened with the Mexican Sergio 'Checo' Prez (Racing Point), with a time of 1: 17,347, followed by Daniel Ricciardo (Renault ).

The McLaren of the British Lando Norris, who replaced Spanish on the day Carlos Sainz, was the slowest in the morning and one of the least laps (48), although the British squad did not report any incident.

For its part, Charles Leclerc I took the Ferrari again, waiting for Sebastian Vettel to do it in the afternoon, while in the trials of Lewis Hamilton with the Mercedes he obtained very discreet times (1: 18.386) and away from those of the Wednesday, although he completed a very profitable day, in which he made 106 laps.
