Lewis Hamilton<\/a> spoke about what to expect from Ferrari<\/a> heading into the United States Grand Prix<\/a> week in Austin.\u201cWe\u2019re really limited with rear end compared to the guys who are taking the step and improving their rear\u201d- Lewis Hamilton<\/p>\n

Speaking after the race in Singapore, the seven-time world champion said: \u201cWe\u2019re still fighting for fourth, fifth \u2014 sort of fourth and sixth, at best. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re currently limited, we\u2019re really limited with rear end compared to the guys who are taking the step and improving their rear.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know really, it\u2019s all about how we extract our qualifying and if we can get the most out of the car. But at the moment, we need to get 105% out of the car to be able to beat the guys ahead. So that\u2019s going to be tough.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hamilton finally expressed his disappointment with the results for the entire team, which \u2014 despite a very challenging season so far \u2014 is still giving everything to climb back up as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel pain for all the team, catering to marketing, to the guys in the garage and engineers who show up every weekend and they really do give absolutely everything. But the car we have, it’s just nuts.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe level of the guys up ahead of us, particularly as they’ve had some upgrades and we can’t match them. So we’re on a knife edge trying to get as close as we can.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bottas explains what\u2019s still holding Hamilton back<\/p>\n

His former Mercedes teammate has also reflected on the difficult season the seven-time world champion is enduring so far, with a partnership that has yet to take off despite the high expectations at the start of the year.<\/p>\n

The Finn \u2014 who will return to Formula 1 next season as a full-time driver for the newly formed Cadillac team<\/a> \u2014 took stock of the Briton\u2019s first months at Maranello, expressing hope that he can soon return to his former glory.<\/a>GPblog’s latest F1 Paddock UpdateWant to stay up-to-date with what happens in the F1<\/a> paddock?
