In the press event organized by Mercedes this Thursday, Lewis Hamilton spoke about the performances shown by the Anglo-German team over the last few weeks, underlining how the team itself did not expect such a clear improvement.
According to the Englishman, in fact, the fight with Ferrari and the difficulties in terms of performance experienced up until the German Grand Prix pushed the entire team to progress on a technical level, thus turning the entire situation to their advantage.
Hamilton, we remember, arrives in Japan with a fifty-point advantage over Sebastian Vettel, a factor that will allow him to experience these last five Grands Prix with relative tranquility.
