Lewis Hamilton has not become pessimist with his defeats against Nico Rosberg rather he is looking towards the brighter side. He has reflected his difficult start of 2016 season as “glass half full”. He has now started to chase the gap points present between him and Nico.
Lewis Hamilton said, “There’s a lot more to come from us.”
Hamilton states that this deficit is going to be really a big challenge. Lewis Hamilton is very much confident that this time he will solve the problems. Ahead of this weekend’s Spanish Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton said, “We’ve had a hard time but the guys in the garage are doing a fantastic job and I’m really happy with how we’ve been working together. Every weekend, we’ve got the car into a great place set-up-wise – I just haven’t been fully able to exploit it. So the glass is half full for me. There’s a long way to go with 17 races left. The team has been on it 24/7 since returning from Russia so I’m confident they’ll get to the bottom of the problems we’ve been having. I know I’m still quick. I’ve known that since day one in testing and, when I’ve had clean air and a damage-free car this season, I’ve shown it on track. I head to Spain confident of a good weekend.”
Toto Wolff, Mercedes head of motorsport said, “We are leading the constructors’ championships by a good margin and our drivers hold the top two positions in the drivers’ standings.
“So, realistically speaking, it’s tough to ask for more.
“However, it has not been plain sailing and we have had problems that we are working hard to solve.
“We have rivals breathing down our necks who are relentless in their chase.
“The longer regulations remain stable, the harder it is to find extra performance.
“We are pushing the limits to ensure we remain competitive – but if you push the limits then at a certain stage you risk stepping over them.”
