Both Lewis Hamilton and Toto Wolff has said there was ‘something to come’ from Mercedes after another disappointing outing at the Chinese GP.

Hamilton started 18th on the grid after qualifying, and rose to finish ninth in the race, which was won by Red Bull’s Max Verstappen.

After the race, he said: ‘I’m grateful to get into the points. I didn’t expect a lot more this weekend.’


 

He felt that there was improvement to come in the team before the next race of the F1 calendar in a fortnight’s time in Miami, with his teammate George Russell finishing in sixth.

Hamilton added: ‘Hopefully we have a step forward coming at the next race. Until then, we will be back at the factory next week and try and position the car better for Miami, and hopefully have a better weekend.’
