The new Mercedes car struggled with bouncing issues during pre-season testing, but a defiant Hamilton insists his team is still the strongest.
"The testing's been difficult," he said. "There were a lot of cars that were looking quite fast.
"The Alfa Romeo was looking fast, Valtteri [Bottas] was looking quick. Obviously the Red Bull looks ridiculously fast at the moment, and the Ferraris. But we are the best team. Undoubtedly."
