Hamilton explained that he suffered a lose of power with his W05 during the Austrian Grand Prix. He said:
'I easily had the pace but my power was dropping and his wasn't, so I need to investigate what that was. We are always trying to manage power, so perhaps it could have been a bit more optimal.'
