Mercedes driver Valtteri Bottas said he believes Ferrari are ahead of the reigning world champions at the end of the first week of pre-season testing.
On Wednesday, world champion Lewis Hamilton, Bottas’ team-mate, said Ferrari were “very strong”, adding: “It appears they have a better package than last year, which means it will be a bigger challenge for us.”
Hamilton: “I didn’t win a single race last year, and there is only one target for the whole season – the world championship, for me personally and also for us, as a team.”
