F1 | Hamilton worried about 2018

Lewis Hamilton is worried for the performance that its Mercedes will be able to guarantee it in 2018. The Englishman underlined that his car suffers from "Some really big problems” which could be a handicap to carry with us also in the future, jeopardizing the fight for the Title next season.

Currently, in fact, Hamilton can enjoy a substantial advantage of 34 points over Ferrari di Sebastian Vettel, but it is clear that something went wrong in the last GPs, and only the problems suffered by the Cavallino allowed the Englishman to lead so far. Both a Singapore in that Malaysia Mercedes was inferior to Ferrari but also to Red Bull, and the fact that the updates brought to Sepang have been discarded rings a bell.

“We've done an exceptional job with what we have – said Lewis – but there are some really big problems that I certainly can't explain to you. We need to sort them out for next year if we really want to fight with both Ferrari and Red Bull“. Mercedes, after all, has just returned from three years of total and undisputed domination, and only this season has it found itself having to fight hard to win the grand prix.

However, Hamilton remains confident both in the team's work in view of 2018 and in the end of this season. Particularly on the track Suzuka, colder and more suitable for Mercedes than the latest circuits.
