Lewis Hamilton sounded encouraged by his upgraded Mercedes after the first day of Monaco Grand Prix practice on Friday, even though the principality's tight and twisting streets were no place for a meaningful assessment.
The seven times Formula One champion, who has not won a race since 2021, was third fastest in the first session and sixth in the second."I want to say a big, big thank you to everyone back at the factory because to build and design and develop a car is not an easy thing and everyone’s put so much time in, so many hours of hard work to have us here today.
Hamilton said he could feel the improvements and Mercedes just had to keep "chipping away" to squeeze more performance from the car.
