Q: (Andrew Benson ā BBC Sport) Charles, there have been two different races on different tracks where thereās both been these yo-yo type racing battles that youāve been involved in, among others, perhaps for different reasons. Can you explain why those battles are happening in that way, and if itās different from track to track, the reasons why? And also on a wider scale, is it like Mario Kart, as some people have said?
CL: Honestly, I was very sceptical at the beginning of the year, and after testing I had some particular expectations going into the year that werenāt very good about racing. Iāve been positively surprised. At least for us in the front, itās actually been a lot nicer than what I thought. Surely, youāve got some overtakes that are artificial, just like it was the case also with the DRS sometimes last year. However, there are also many overtakes where itās actually on the limit and where you end up in a similar state of the battery at the same point for different circumstances, which makes it actually quite fun. Weāve seen it in Australia, weāve seen it in Shanghai, and Iāve had a lot more fun than I initially thought. As I said, I think in qualifying itās not the most fun Iāve had, so this is maybe something that we need to look at. But in terms of fighting, I enjoyed it a lot more than what I thought. And why thatās so, itās mostly because Mercedes is quite a bit stronger than us, but as soon as you get out of that optimal window of the battery, you lose a lot of lap time. So that brings the cars together and thatās why thereās a lot of change of position, together with the fact that the car behind recharges more than the car in front. These two things specifically make it quite difficult to go away once you are in a fight.
