Hamilton wary of Ferrari threat

“I don’t know how our pace is compared to others, but the Ferraris looked quite quick. I think it’s a bit closer here this weekend."

Lewis Hamilton will be taking the threat of Ferrari seriously in Austria – but insists he will let his Mercedes team sweat over the gap.

Sebastian Vettel topped the timesheet in his Ferrari after second practice at the Red Bull Ring on Friday, with Hamilton down in fifth after running wide during his first run on fresh supersoft tyres and ended up over half a second adrift.
