“In karting there is no data. There are no pit stops, it’s nothing to do with brake temperatures or how much every you have in the boost button,” Hamilton told BBC Radio 5 Live.
“So when you have an advantage, you carry that advantage. The guy behind can’t see that anywhere.
“The way technology is now (in F1) there is so much information, it is so hard to have anything concealed. Like the experience I had with Fernando (Alonso at McLaren in 2007). When I got to F1 I thought, “Jeez Fernando’s so quick and he is using all these different techniques”. But fortunately there was data. If there wasn’t data I wouldn’t have been able to beat him that year.
“So there are times when Nico is ahead and I’m able to see those things. And there are times when I’m ahead and he’s able to see it. For example the fuel usage. After the last race they found out how I’m saving fuel and he’ll be aware of that now and maybe he’ll be a lot closer on fuel usage.
