 | Lewis Hamilton: Ferrari is seriously inferior to Mercedes in terms of engine power14-05-2026 |
Hamilton noted the lag behind Mercedes in terms of engine power. Ferrari driver Lewis Hamilton summed up the results of qualifying for the Japanese Grand Prix, noting that the current gap in engine power does not allow the team to fight with Mercedes.
Mercedes has a very good car and they are also starting to get more and more efficient with their engine. And it was clear that in such conditions we would roll back. So we have a very serious task ahead of us if we want to win back the lead. This is partly due to the difference in engine power, but the chassis also plays a role - and this weekend we clearly cannot compare with Mercedes in the area of chassis performance. Because our opponents are also faster than us in corners.
But in terms of engine power we are seriously inferior to Mercedes. And I don’t know what exactly is the matter - maybe they have a larger turbine, maybe there’s more power, maybe it’s something else. We`ll find out. We need to try to do this. And work hard to close the gap, ” Hamilton said.
