LEWIS HAMILTON has revealed that Mercedes are expecting some upgrades on both cars after a dramatic ending to the Bahrain Grand Prix. The seven-time world champion jumped two places to finish third in the race behind Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz. He also hinted that he is expecting some upgrades for the car, adding: “I’m hoping. They were third best in qualifying on Saturday with George Russell – who eventually finished fourth – settling for P9 and Hamilton P5. Red Bull and Ferrari have both been the quickest on track so far, but any upgrades from Mercedes could dramatically turn the tables.
