Lewis Hamilton gave an honest heads-up to Ferrari fans ahead of this weekend’s Bahrain Grand Prix.
The joint-record seven-time Formula 1 world champion has faced a tough start to his debut year with the Scuderia.
Hamilton has so far finished tenth in Australia and seventh at the Japanese Grand Prix.
They came either side of a disqualification in China for a rule breach.
Teammate Charles Leclerc has also missed out on top three finishes to leave Ferrari podium-less after the opening three races.
Next on the calendar is Bahrain, a Grand Prix that Hamilton has won five times throughout his racing career.
However, despite his success in the Middle East, the 40-year-old had an anti-climatic response to a question on his chances of winning.
“What could you say to our viewers, waiting for something magical from you, what would you say to them?” a reporter asked.
Hamilton, who showed a slight smile, replied: “Don’t, simple as that. Don’t wait for anything, just watch and enjoy.
“We’re working as hard as we can, so that’s all I can say, I have nothing else to add to that.”
Amid the pressure of a potentially historic title winning season with Ferrari, Hamilton also insisted that he blocks out the noise.
“I have, obviously, self-belief,” he told another reporter. “I don’t listen to all the stuff that’s floating around.
