F1-legend Alain Prost thinks that Lewis Hamilton will only struggle more for wins than he has up until this point, as the competition has grown to be tougher than it's ever been for Mercedes.
Alain Prost, who is a former driver of Ferrari, thinks that this will be the year of the prancing horse.
"In the winter, Mercedes and Red Bull looked stronger than Ferrari, but now they're the strongest in both qualifying and racing," he told Autosprint.
"Particularly how the team can manage the tyres is incredible.
"At the moment, even Raikkonen is a fierce opponent for Vettel, that's very good for the team."

The four-time champion is impressed with the way the Italians developed their engine, as their chassis was already one of the best.
"The Ferrari chassis was good already but now they've developed the engine further.
"Together with Red Bull and Mercedes, they're really close and every team always has the chance to win.
"It'll only get harder for Hamilton to win now, as he normally fights with one driver for the title, and now he has to battle four, five opponents."
