Lewis Hamilton: Ferrari is five tenths behind McLaren
The McLaren team is firmly in the lead in the Constructors' Cup, with its drivers Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris winning seven out of nine races. Nevertheless, Lewis Hamilton believes that his rivals can close the gap with the Woking team, but he doubts that Ferrari can do this this season.
Lewis Hamilton: "McLaren has done an amazing job. In our case, we're talking about five-tenths, but they probably win by three-tenths against the closest pursuers. Only three tenths.
This is not an insurmountable gap, and three tenths can be won back. But, for example, we spent months developing to win back one tenth. So I do not know if we have… We don't have those five tenths, but that's how much we need to win back to get ahead of them. But never say never."
