HAMILTON SUPPORTS FERRARI SUPERIORITY
Lewis Hamilton acknowledged that it will be difficult to beat Ferrari in Shanghai in China this weekend. World Cup leader, the four-time champion said that the top speed of Italian rivals should put them ahead for the third leg of the 2018 season.Sebastian Vettel won the first two championship races in Australia and Bahrain, but on the Arab track the German won from pole position. Punished for an exchange, the Englishman finished the race only in third position. The difference between them at the end of the table is 17 points."Ferrari was not far behind here last year," said the Mercedes driver. "We've seen their straight line speed in previous races bigger than ours. We have a longer line here, so I suspect they will be faster and it will be difficult to win," he added.Despite predicting a more complicated stage, Hamilton understands that the two teams still have room to improve their performances. "I think there is still work, the most complete package is still in development.""So you can say that they have not been perfect so far and neither have we. I think it will be very interesting to see what our performance will be from one track to another. their car, "Lewis explained."But they are faster than us in the straight and as fast as we are in corners, so I believe they have taken a huge step this season.It will be interesting also to see how the reliability plan will be them.There is still a way to go, amended the Englishman, who has already won five times on the Chinese track.
