Hamilton is “not stressed” by Mercedes’ difficulties
Lewis Hamilton is not worried about the difficulties encountered by Mercedes at the beginning of the season. The British driver believes in the strength of his team to identify and resolve the problems as quickly as possible.
As the second Grand Prix of the season in Saudi Arabia approaches, Lewis Hamilton appeared serene despite the issues seen on his W13. Despite a good overall result with the British driver’s third place and Russell’s fourth place in Bahrain, Mercedes seems slightly less competitive than Red Bull and Ferrari for now.
We have problems and we are fighting to solve them. There is a lot of potential in our car. We are just trying to work as hard as possible to rectify everything as quickly as possible. I have no doubt that I have the best group of people behind me to find solutions and extract performance. The seven-time world champion stated.
Hamilton is not worried. Last year, Mercedes encountered problems and throughout the season, the team had worked hard to resist Red Bull. The car became more competitive towards the end of the season. However, he does not expect any improvements during the weekend in Jeddah.
So I’m not too stressed, but I want to get back into the battle as soon as possible. We need to move forward as fast as we can. A lot of work has been done these past three days. I’m very proud that my team remains focused and tries to analyze the huge amount of data they have. With such a short time between Grand Prix races, we shouldn’t expect major changes as early as this weekend.
The Silver Arrows should not take too long to find a competitive car if they want to get involved in the championship fight, even if Toto Wolff doesn’t believe in it too much.
