Bahrain: Mercedes believe Ferrari’s straight-line speed has made the difference so far at the Bahrain GP – but Lewis Hamilton remains optimistic they can still challenge in Sunday evening’s race.
Ferrari have rebounded from their crushing defeat to Mercedes at the Australian GP in emphatic style this weekend, finishing first and second in every practice and qualifying session in Bahrain
Charles Leclerc took a maiden pole ahead of Sebastian Vettel on Saturday, with Lewis Hamilton heading an all-Mercedes second row behind, for a race which begins at 4.10pm live on Sky Sports F1 and Sky One.
“We’ve expected a fight and in Melbourne it went very much into our advantage. It came the other way around here in Bahrain,” said Mercedes boss Toto Wolff.
“With these new regulations and an understanding for the tyres, you might see these swings. There are teams that are outperforming this weekend who haven’t done well in Melbourne and there are teams that aren’t overperforming, us and Red Bull.”
