Hamilton not worried but 'Red Bull has more information than us'

Nevertheless, the English driver has little to worry about. The Italian Sky Italia reports the following: "Let's say the balance is a bit better today, we drove more than sixty laps to get data overall."

However, the world champion does acknowledge that they have less data than the competitor. "We definitely have less information than Red Bull, but we will try to drive as many laps as we can and eventually finish our programme."

Little difference from other years

Whereas the Mercedes dominated the field last year, they are yet to show much in Bahrain during the test days. Yet Hamilton sees little difference from test days in previous years. "I honestly don't see testing being that different from other years. We're all focused on the work. Very Mercedes that is."
