The Briton, clear title favourite after the retirement of Mercedes team mate and champion Nico Rosberg, said overtaking could be even more of a problem than it was before. Hamilton, who had concentrated mainly on putting on mileage, said the performance was "amazing" in terms of the speed carried through corners. He said it was great that Formula One had made changes but engineers had warned of the consequences. It's worse to follow another car," said Hamilton. That may not be so much of a problem for Hamilton, whose Mercedes looks so quick that he can expect to start from the front.
