Hamilton expects close Ferrari challenge
Lewis Hamilton believes Ferrari’s engine upgrade will bring them into serious contention at this weekend’s Canadian Grand Prix.
The Italian team have had a disappointing start to the season but hope this upgrade will help them to get closer to run-away leaders Mercedes.
Kimi Raikkonen and Sebastian Vettel will give a real indication of how close they are in qualifying today, and Hamilton expects a close fight after practice yesterday.
"The Ferraris look very quick," he said. "They've got a new turbo so they've picked up their pace on the straights.
"Whether or not they've turned their engine up to test that, I'll assume they probably have, but we will see tomorrow.
"The Ferraris look quite quick and the Red Bulls will be quick also.
"Particularly with the Ferraris it looks like we might be very close with them.
"Hopefully we're going to have a bit of a race here."
