Lewis Hamilton has claimed Mercedes 'have work to do' to match McLaren at Silverstone, where a team radio message caught the eye.
Lewis Hamilton has admitted Mercedes have “got some work to do” at the British Grand Prix after the seven-time World Champion said he was “just slow” over team radio in FP2.Russell’s win came after Mercedes ’ form had improved considerably over recent weeks, with Russell and Hamilton finishing third in Canada and Spain respectively last month. Russell also set pole position in Montreal behind the wheel of the much-improved W15 car.
Yet Hamilton, whose fastest lap in FP2 was 0.653 seconds slower than Norris’s, is convinced that Mercedes are “just not as fast” as the likes of McLaren at this stage of proceedings. “But every time we add something to the car, we are going in the right direction, but the others are bringing upgrades at the same time.
He said: “FP1 was a strong session with the car feeling great. FP2 was a slightly more challenging hour and we need to pick through why that was.
