• Ferrari need a strong showing at Spanish Grand Prix
Lewis Hamilton goes into this weekend’s Spanish Grand Prix supremely confident in his own abilities and at the top of his game but still expecting a tough fight. Just how that contest manifests itself at the Circuit de Catalunya will likely go a long way to identifying who will be the defending world champion’s key rival this season.
Before the first round of the championship a repeat of last year’s title fight between Hamilton and Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel was widely expected. Four races in, Ferrari’s challenge cannot be written off but there is a sense Hamilton may be shifting his focus to the threat from across the Mercedes garage in the form of Valtteri Bottas.
