After the Monaco Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton said he expects Mercedes to have a “much better package” in Barcelona, and added it is “the best test circuit” for the team’s upgrades.
The Monaco Grand Prix turned out to be a successful race for Mercedes, with Lewis Hamilton finishing in P4 and George Russell in P5.
After driving the upgraded W14 in the race, Lewis was happy with the progress the team has made.
“I’m really happy. We’ve moved forwards,” the Briton told Sky Sports F1.
“Coming into the weekend I didn’t know where we would stand so to come out fourth and fifth is really great points for the team.

“Huge thank you to everyone back at the factory for bringing those upgrades. We kept it in one piece, we beat the Ferraris and we really got some great points as a team.
“Next week Barcelona is the best test circuit for us so it was really difficult here to know.
“The car felt very stiff, there are lots of bumps. I felt one particular part of the car that was better, but I don’t know how that will be next week.
“I’m sure it will be a much better package next week,” Hamilton concluded.
