DOHA–Lewis Hamilton says he is “totally fine” with having to wait until next year for his first Ferrari Formula One test, even if it could make life harder at the start of his move from Mercedes. Britain’s seven-times world champion is replacing Spaniard Carlos Sainz at the Italian team but Mercedes are holding him to his contract until the end of the year to fulfill sponsor commitments.

Lewis Hamilton delivered a stark admission of being "not fast anymore" following a disappointing sprint qualifying session at the Qatar Grand Prix. The seven-time world champion could only manage seventh place on the grid for Saturday's sprint race.
