Lewis Hamilton doesn't think Mercedes will be more competitive at Saudi Arabian Grand Prix

Mercedes had previously considered the extent of the damage their objective given their loss in Bahrain, but Hamilton agreed he had been stripped of their unexpected reward.

Mercedes struggled with its new W13 car for most of the weekend at Sakhir, but Red Bull surprisingly finished third after both failed final laps, allowing Hamilton - who had qualified in fifth place - to capitalize. Gave the permission to.

While Hamilton has already said his result was "the best result we could have got" under the conditions, the seven-time world champion doubts he will be up to the pace in Jeddah.
