F1: Mercedes needs to improve on tire usage.

Mar 27, 2017

Lewis Hamilton says Mercedes has identified tyre usage as an area it needs to improve on, after he finished 2nd at the Australian F1 GP, behind Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel. 

Hamilton had started the F1 season opener on pole, but admitted that he struggled with his tyre's grip at several points during the race. 

But Hamilton isn't too disappointed with the result, as the team remained competitive despite this year's massive rule changes.
