After Bahrain Grand Prix free practice 1 and 2 Lewis Hamilton has a few complaints, primarily regarding his car’s balance.
Although Hamilton topped both free practice sessions, he wasn’t particularly happy with how everything went.
“Great to be back out [in Bahrain],” the Briton told Sky Sports F1.
“But today was like a test day so it wasn’t my favourite. From my side, we’re not particularly happy with the balance of the car.
“But the track is quite slippy, quite dusty. The track works the tyres completely different to other tracks.
“We’ve definitely got some work to do. Overheating is always an issue.”

Pirelli also provided teams with an opportunity to test some of next year’s tyres, but Hamilton is not a fan.
“Oh god. I’m trying my hardest not to say anything! What I want to say is that weekend in, weekend out every year we have a team from Pirelli who I have a lot of respect for. They have an amazing job.
“They’ve had two years now to develope a new tyre and we’ve arrived with a tyre that is three kilos heavier.
“We’re working with brands and partners who are at the forefront at technology and moving us forward. If we’re going back after years of development I don’t know whats happening.
“It doesn’t feel good out there and I’d prefer to stay on this tyre if that’s all they’ve got,” concluded the seven-time champion.
