Yahoo Finance Emilia Romagna Grand Prix: How to watch Formula One race online and on TV
Lewis Hamilton will bid to fend off the threat of an increasingly quick Red Bull car in the second race of the Formula One season this Sunday.
Hamilton was pushed to the wire in the opening race in Bahrain last month, producing a driving masterclass to hold off the Dutch driver during a captivating finish, with the Mercedes driver admitting afterwards that the Red Bull car poses a far greater threat this season. “It is only race one, and we don’t know what the future holds,” he said. “With the pace Red Bull have they could be ahead a lot more, but we are going to work as hard as we can to stay close.”
That message was echoed by Hamilton’s Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas, who admitted Mercedes are now “the hunters, not the ones to be hunted”. He said: “Already in (pre-season) testing we saw that we were on the back foot against Red Bull and the first race confirmed that we’re behind.”
The seven-time champion held his ground against Sergio Perez and Max Verstappen once again in qualifying yesterday to clinch the 99th pole position of his career by just 0.035 seconds with “the most perfect lap”.
