Lewis Hamilton and the Barcelona “reference”

Twice on the third step of the podium and two 5th places, such is the record displayed by Lewis Hamilton after the first four Grand Prix of the year, with his new team Mercedes. “We were boosted by the results obtained at the start of the season, it’s like a real accomplishment”, notes the Briton. Three weeks after the Bahrain meeting and a short break, the players in the world of Formula 1 meet this weekend in Spain, for the first European race of the season.

?I feel very comfortable in the car now and we know the areas where we need to improve, so a lot of effort is being made to reduce the gap that separates us from the front. » Like all his counterparts, the Mercedes driver arrives on a circuit that he knows by heart and which will serve as a benchmark. “ Barcelona will be a good test since we know the circuit so well having completed most of our pre-season testing here. This should be a good benchmark to assess the progress we have made since then.”
