Lewis Hamilton struggling with Mercedes’ W10 in China: “It was quite cold out there”

Five-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, who finished the practice session seven-tenths behind his teammate Valtteri Bottas in the fourth place, has claimed he is “struggling” with Mercedes’ W10 in China. Bottas narrowly edged Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel to lead the second session. “It was quite cold out there, which makes it difficult for the tyres,” he said. “I was struggling with the car today, so we've got work to do, particularly on my side as Valtteri looked much more comfortable in the car. “We're going to work hard tonight to find some tweaks and hopefully come back stronger tomorrow; the car has the pace in it to compete at the front, we just need to find the right set-up. As we expected, the Ferraris still look quicker on the straights, but overall it's very close between the top cars and I anticipate that it is going to be the same tomorrow.”
