"Last year, Ferrari were very strong in both China and Brazil," Hamilton admitted. "But this year I think we have closed the gap to them at circuits where they were always traditionally quick."
"But, equally, Ferrari has closed the gap to us on tracks where McLaren was always usually quick," he added. "But I'm optimistic about the future: I think we will be quite strong in China this weekend and closer to Ferrari than we were last year. The same goes for Brazil, so these next two races could show the fans some of the closest racing of the season."
