Mercedes may have finally found the solution. After experiencing difficulties at the start of the season, the German team is starting to obtain good results. Lewis Hamilton notably finished third in the Spanish Grand Prixbehind Lando Norris and Max Verstappen. The seven-time world champion took the opportunity to indicate that the gap with Red Bull was no longer as important as before, and that we had to continue to put pressure on.
“We have to keep pushing”
« The gap with Verstappen? We are getting closer little by little. Last year we were very fast here, so you have to take that with a grain of salt, but obviously in the last two races we have been relatively competitive. So I think we have closed the gap a bit, but we still have a good two tenths to try to find. We just need to be all hands on deck and keep pushing » first explained Lewis Hamilton in remarks reported by Motorsport.com.
“Subtle changes” to return to Red Bull?
« The car ? I think that’s the maximum for the moment. But we’re still refining it through subtle changes. So we’re still tweaking it and we’ll continue to do so throughout the year. But we need to add some things, some extra elements to be able to compete with these guys » then continued the pilot of Mercedes. It remains to be seen whether the German team will finally manage to catch up on Red Bull.
