Lewis Hamilton was not completely satisfied with his result at the Bahrain International Circuit. The Briton finished in seventh place, and his pace could only lead to overtake Fernando Alonso and Oscar Piastri during the race.

"I'm actually feeling great. Basically, I feel great, so winter training has worked. We probably feel a little bit of disappointment within the team. I haven't seen anyone," Hamilton began talking to Sky Sports following the Bahrain Grand Prix.

How Hamilton could've improved in Bahrain

The seven-time world champion summed up his time in the W15 briefly. "It was a struggle in the car today. I was giving everything, but there wasn't a lot of performance there compared to some of the others. I think if I qualified better, naturally I would have been a good couple of places ahead because the last stint was good. It was about discovery there. I found out a lot about the car."

When asked about whether Red Bull are further away from the rest than it was expected yesterday, Hamilton just decided to nod.
