Hamilton: “Ferrari will still be very strong” in Bahrain

Lewis Hamilton will look to score a 3rd victory in 4 races this weekend at the Bahrain GP. But the objectives of the Championship leader could be undermined by the SF15-T of the Team Ferrari who have proven, with Sebastian Vettel's victory in Malaysia, that they performed very well when temperatures were high.

« Ferrari will still be very strong as was the case in Malaysia,” warned the last winner of the Bahrain GP at a press conference. “We will have to adopt a slightly different strategy to address our weaknesses. But it will be complicated because Ferrari has been very competitive in the last two races. We are clearly going to fight with them. »

Lewis Hamilton also does not forget his teammate Nico Rosberg, with whom he had a superb duel on the Sakhir track in 2014. New tensions have arisen between the two drivers Mercedes at the end of the last event in Shanghai (China) when the German accused the Briton of having deliberately lowered his pace to penalize him. “There are no problems between Nico and me. We saw each other this morning and everything was fine”, assured the Mercedes driver.
