A few days before the first Grand Prix of the season, Lewis Hamilton has a lucid observation of the pace of his Mercedes…
On Sunday, the drivers will return to the starting grid. Indeed, the paddock has an appointment in Bahrain for the first Grand Prix of the season which seems totally undecided. And for good reason, difficult to establish a real hierarchy after the winter tests. The teams were probably hiding their game, but to what extent? Impossible to say, though Ferrari and Red Bull seemed in good shape while mercedes, despite its aerodynamic revolution, is further back. A trend confirmed by Lewis Hamilton who does not think he will be a protagonist for victory in the first race of the season.
“There were a lot of F1 who seemed fast, faster than us”
» Yes, the tests were difficult. There were a lot of F1 cars that seemed fast, faster than us. Even the Alfa Romeo of Valtteri (Bottas, his former team-mate), looked in better shape. The very, very fast Red Bulls, and the Ferraris. But we definitely have the best team. The tests weren’t top notch but I have conferences with our engineers to talk about the engine in particular, how we can extract more power. And others to talk about the chassis, how we can move forward, how we can stop rebounds, how to get performance out of it. Everyone wants, everyone is excited, engineers love challenges “, he assures in remarks reported by Nextgen-auto.com. To know if Lewis Hamilton was bluffing or not, answer on Sunday.
