Hamilton admits Mercedes need to have more confidence in the car

Lewis Hamilton has taken the lead in the World Championship, but he has admitted he can’t rely on “weird” races that will keep him in contention for the title. It was Lewis Hamilton’s first win since October 2017.

The Brit also went on to admit the team need more confidence in the car to unlock its full potential.

“There are two weird races which have kept us within the mix, but you can’t rely on those for the 17 or however many are left,” Hamilton said.

The Silver Arrows will need to get their act together quickly if they are going to win another title. The Ferrari car has been the fastest so far this season, and on a track like Barcelona’s, the Italian team have to be favourites.

But Hamilton denied he’s worrying.

“The most important thing is that we have a good car to work with in qualifying.”
