Lewis Hamilton spoke after the disappointing race in Japan, closed with an anonymous seventh place. The victory in the sprint in China remains an isolated case in a start of the season to forget.
“The race was not bad. Nothing special of course. We still lack knowledge of some components of our car, and I myself still need to improve in terms of method”.
“I tried something different on the strategy level and made up a position from the start but we have no pace. I didn”t expect much in the transition from hard to medium compound, as Leclerc”;
“We still lacked performance. Even if I had started ahead of the Mercedes I think at least one of them would have passed me”.
