Asked about how he felt in the car, the Briton said: "I think it's just something similar that we've experienced before here and it's an amazing circuit
"The car generally feels okay, it's just not quick enough at the moment and I think it's just balance. We've just got to work hard overnight to try and figure out how we can set the car up better."

Where Ferrari needs to improve
Hamilton added: "It's difficult to say (where we'll be). Ultimately, there's a lot of time on the straights, it’s four tenths into Turn 1 at the moment compared to the McLaren.
"So deployment is part of it. I'm sure we can do a better job in improving on that. And then I think there's more performance in the car to extract if we can get the setup right."
