Formula 1 world🍨 champion Lewis Hamilton admits he is "not that great" around the Mugello circuit but insists there is “more to come” after Friday practice.

Hamilton ended the opening practice session for th♎e Tuscan Grand Prix fourth fastest and over half a second adrift of Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas, before closing the deficit to two-tenths in FP2 on his way to second.

Despite lacking some pace🌊 on Friday, the six-times world ch♌ampion is confident he can turn things around in time for qualifying.

“I like it, it’s f🌱ast,” Hamiltoไn explained. “It’s definitely a real challenge, just I’m not that great at it just yet, but I’m working on it.

“I’m trying to push it to the limit,” he added. “I think there are sect🌃ions like the last sector, I’ve got t💮hat sorted and pretty happy with that.

“The first and seco𓆏nd sector are a little𒊎 bit weak for me, but particularly the first sector. There’s plenty to come in that section.

“Max and Valtteri are very quick through there so I’ll do a lot of studying tonight an🐓d hopefully I’ll rectify tﷺhat tomorrow.”

Hamilton p🥃raised the Mug🐓ello circuit and said the Tuscan venue is one of the most physically demanding venues F1 has visited for some time.

“I𒆙t almost feels like Turkey, the triple left han♏der whatever it is there, it is incredibly fast through the first, 6, 7, 8, 9, it’s intense,” he explained.

“I have to say it’s amazing ꧟to experience it. It’s going to be difficult 🌜to look after the tyres through that section but everyone is in the same boat.

“On the long run ♌it’s one of t𓆏he most physically demanding circuits that we’ve been at for a while, particularly with those double right-handers, most of the time we’re flat out through those sections, and it’s just holding your neck the whole time. I love that.”
