Hamilton said in a pre race interview on Sky that Mercedes had in part been so successful to date because they had developed the car to manage tyre and brake temps at mainly hot circuits. They never planned on running in November in the cold and pissing rain and their previous advantage became a disadvantage in Turkey. I’m paraphrasing natch. That he managed to turn it around is amazing really.

Getting back on track (pun fully intended), has there been any explanation given to Mercedes' relative lack of pace over the weekend? Is it just a case of them still suffering in colder conditions due to working the tyres less? With the DAS being a bit useless as it'll only heat up the fronts and have a negative impact on the balance?
