Lewis Hamilton thinks he'll struggle to get in to the top ten in qualifying if he is unable to make big overnight car improvements F1 SpanishGP
But with the fight behind Red Bull looking extremely close, Hamilton says that a lot of work is needed ahead of Saturday if he is going to get safely in to Q3.
“I think it's very, very close between us in that P5 back to P10 [position]. It's impressive to see the improvements that everyone seems to have made all around us. Team-mate Russell was slightly more optimistic about the situation Mercedes found itself in, as he pointed out that the squad often faced difficult Fridays before its pace ramped up over the remainder of the weekend.“We know that we're not Friday specialists,” he said. “We often take a bit of a step forward on Saturday and Sunday, and it's the right way round for it to be.
“But we saw that in Miami, I think, Kevin [Magnussen] qualified ahead of us but then things changed on Sunday.
