Lewis Hamilton upbeat Mercedes are 'moving in right direction' despite more woes in Miami

Lewis Hamilton has insisted his Mercedes team "will pull through", despite their latest struggles at the Miami Grand Prix.

Hamilton finished sixth in Miami, one place behind teammate George Russell, with the result leaving him on 36 points in the F1 driver standings - 68 points behind current leader Charles Leclerc. The seven-time world champion has only reached the podium once so far this season, having earned a third-placed finish in the Bahrain Grand Prix.

Following the race in Miami, Hamilton hit out at Mercedes for asking him whether he wanted to take advantage of a late safety car to switch to newer tyres instead of making the decision for him. Hamilton opted not to make the change, while teammate Russell did and ultimately fought past Hamilton to finish ahead of him.
