Former IndyCar and NASCAR driver Danica Patrick says Mercedes have “strong drivers, strong team, strong strategy”, and “the car seems to emerge” in the race.
Mercedes had a tough time during the Miami Grand Prix weekend, especially Lewis Hamilton who qualified for the race in P13.
However, in the race itself, the Briton pulled off a wonderful recovery drive to finish in P6.
While giving her views on the race, former IndyCar and NASCAR driver Danica Patrick said Lewis has to be pleased with his performance.
“I imagine he’ll be pleased with that comeback,” Patrick said.
“He was in 13th for a while before he made progress. It’s frustrating going through the weekend when you’re struggling, struggling, struggling. You almost forget about it when you have races like that.

“And they do tend to have good races. They are strong drivers, strong team, strong strategy, and the car seems to emerge… I don’t know if it gets stronger.
“Ferrari drops back and, as it’s a race between the next three team, you come out on top of a lot. You feel good, you go away then get dropped back in next weekend.
“They need to figure out how to get sheer speed out of it. If they get sheer speed, they can qualify better, look what would happen in the race after that.
“They would be able to move up further,” she concluded.
