Hamilton must work on his long stints

The national hero was in the spotlight today for the first laps at Silverstone in Great Britain. But Lewis Hamilton will not have signed a single best time this Friday, dominated in the final moments in EL1 by his teammate Nico Rosberg, then only fourth in the afternoon behind the German and the two Ferrari by Kimi Räikkönen and Sebastian Vettel.

“It’s been a good day overall. Not perfect, and we will have work this evening, but the pace is correct, Hamilton comments. I haven't yet found the ideal balance on long stints, and I still have some work to do on the settings. But otherwise, everything is fine. The tires seem to work well, and it doesn't take too long to get them up to temperature. »

The World Champion also believes that Ferrari could join the fight with the Mercedes, and remains wary of the Räikkönen pair? Vettel, who beat him in EL2. “Ferrari are looking very strong once again, and they were close today, so it should be a good fight. Hopefully we can find a bit more performance tomorrow, otherwise we could be in trouble. » concludes the title holder at Silverstone.
