Lewis Hamilton is going into the first race of the new season hoping Mercedes have found solutions for the problems they encountered in pre-season testing.
Speaking ahead of first practice at the Bahrain International Circuit, Hamilton said he doubts the team will have solved the problems encountered in last week’s test at the track.
“Nothing’s changed at the moment,” he said in response to a question from RaceFans. “I think we’ve learnt a lot, obviously through the test, as everyone will have.
“Really I’m hoping that my guys have come up with some sort of solution going into this weekend and when I get in the car today, it feels better.
“But I know there’s not a huge change in such a short space of time so we will still most likely have some of the problems that we had last week.”
Hamilton’s new team mate George Russell believes the W13 has potential once the team is able to get on top of the problems it has encountered with ‘porpoising’.
