Lewis Hamilton admits that he is 'not the biggest fan of testing'

Mercedes had a mixed performance during winter testing in Barcelona with Ferrari establishing themselves as the dominant team. However, Lewis Hamilton has said that testing is no real indication of how teams will perform when the season starts but was glad to get some quick laps in during the final day of testing.

Despite not being the quickest team for much of the testing session, Hamilton said, “The last couple of days have been very positive.”

Hamilton said that he enjoyed his stints on the softer tyre with lower fuel, enabling to try and achieve quicker lap times.

“I’m not the biggest fan of testing, as everybody knows, but it has been a positive week overall,” he added.
