Lewis Hamilton says Mercedes’ car has “felt terrible” in Bahrain, but now the team made a “massive difference”, and it’s “just better everywhere”.
After a terrible start to the 2024 season, in the last few races Mercedes has managed to significantly improve their car. This ultimately culminated in a front row lockout at the British Grand Prix.
When asked how different the car is to drive compared to a couple of months ago, Lewis Hamilton said there’s a “massive difference”.
Asked where is the car different, Lewis explained:
“Everywhere. It’s just better everywhere.
“From Bahrain, for example, the car felt terrible, and the progress that we made in terms of dialling and fine-tuning the car to optimise the aero package.

“This team has never struggled to add performance, but where particularly they put that performance has always been, with this generation of car, has been a big question and where we’re getting the downforce from.
“So, yeah, but now they’ve done an amazing job, the engineers back at the factory. But, you know, look, it’s… We’d definitely take it today, but these guys are still…
“Red Bull, particularly Max, and the McLarens are very, very, very fast. And in some ways, you know, you saw in the last race, they were quite a bit ahead of us.
“So I’m hoping that tomorrow, with the conditions, we can hold our own,” Hamilton concluded.
