Mercedes Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton of Britain drives during the first practice session of the Abu Dhabi F1 Grand Prix at the Yas Marina circuit in Abu Dhabi November 21, 2014.
Although Hamilton will be favorite to win today, he has admitted that there is a serious threat from the Ferrari team after their performance at the last race in Malaysia.
But a repeat from Vettel here would be a massive feat, considering Hamilton’s pole means he joins Ayrton Senna, Michael Schumacher and Juan Manuel Fangio as the only drivers to score five or more poles at one track.
Hamilton has said ahead of the race: “It’s not over by any means. The Ferraris are very good. They are not that far behind pace-wise so they could still be a threat with their long-run pace.
I have to make sure I do lots of work to make sure I finish where I want to.”
He added, “There is a long, long race ahead of us, so I am just trying to keep myself calm. They are maybe able to go a lap longer and Nico is going to be very quick in the race as well.”
Mercedes F1 boss, Toto Wolff, has also weighed in on Ferrari, saying they are a “real threat.”
Paddy Lowe, the team’s technical boss has also said, “Our competitors have strong pace and we will have our work cut out.”
The team will be looking to be more tactically on the edge after Ferrari outplayed them in Malaysia by preserving their tires better than Mercedes.
