Lewis Hamilton bemoans ‘lack of equal opportunity’ at Mercedes with Nico Rosberg
LEWIS HAMILTON claims he did not have the same chances as Nico Rosberg at Mercedes this year because of problems in the garage.

I didn’t have equal opportunity at Mercedes because I had failures on our side of the garage and Nico Rosberg didn't
Lewis Hamilton has already warned Mercedes not to move his mechanics or engineers across to the other driver as they did with five staff before the 2016 season.
And now, still bitter about his five-point defeat to Rosberg in the F1 World Drivers’ Championship, the British driver has complained that there was not a level playing field.
“The team’s job is to provide both drivers with equal opportunity,” Hamilton told Time magazine.
“I didn’t put anyone in harm’s way.
“I’d do it again. You’re out there to fight.”
