Hamilton admits Ferrari are "quite a bit ahead"

Lewis Hamilton has accepted that his Mercedes team may well be second best this weekend in Baku as they were off the pace during Friday practice.

Championship leader Hamilton was six tenths away from the pace-setting Charles Leclerc in Azerbaijan’s capital and has said that it is “unlikely” that Mercedes will be able to make up that time.

He said: “FP2 went really well, I was feeling good out there and I was more comfortable in the car than I was last year.
