Lewis Hamilton relishing the challenge

When questioned about Red Bull’s faster car, Lewis Hamilton seemed optimistic and confident in his and Mercedes’ ability to overcome the challenge:

The 2021 Bahrain Grand Prix saw Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes make a statement. Even more impressive is that they did it in a car that was not the fastest on the grid. Red Bull, on the other hand, gave away what looked like a comfortable win. Although the team has an extremely competitive car at their disposal, they cannot afford to lose out on victories against the reigning champions.
