Hamilton: "I Wish it Was More in My Hands"

Mercedes’s Lewis Hamilton wishes races were more in his hands.

The Brit was defeated in last weekend’s Australian Grand Prix by Ferrari’s Sebastien Vettel after a small calculation error from his team. Hamilton, who is looking for his 5th World Championship, was in control of the race at Albert Park before a Virtual Safety Car gave Vettel the win. Hamilton spoke of the issue, saying:

"It’s such a team effort but when you’re relying on so much computers, so much data, so much technology to come up with the strategy I wish it was down more to personnel,

"I don’t know if that is the right saying but I wish it was more in my hands

"I feel I was driving as good as ever today. Really, really happy with how I was driving. Anyway, I will take that onto the next race, apply it exactly the same as I have this weekend and try to grow, try to grow within myself."

Hamilton will be hoping to build on his 2nd place in Australia, when F1 returns in Bahrain.
