Hamilton: "Red Bull and Max Verstappen seem well placed".

Mercedes have had perhaps their worst winter test ever. Although Sunday morning went without major problems for the team for the first time, Valtteri Bottas and Lewis Hamilton have fallen considerably behind during the first two days. The latter is trying to look on the bright side.

"I'm not wasting time worrying. It's better if things don't go right now than if this were to happen during the race," said Lewis Hamilton in a press conference just before his final test session.

"As a team we have won the title several times and will get it right this time as well."

Hamilton looks to Red Bull and McLaren

Hamilton is not entirely blind to the way the test is going for Mercedes. Certainly not when he compares it to the competition. Red Bull Racing caught the eye of the Brit but he also singled out McLaren for their form.

"The speed of some of the other cars is impressive, especially Red Bull. But the McLaren is doing well too. I like the challenge. Red Bull and Max Verstappen seem to be well positioned. We expect a tough battle throughout the season."
