So far all I know about hashirama is that he can use wood, and he could control tailed beats with his super wood but from what I know from the manga, he is not fast, and I doubt it that he can beat minato if he can't keep up with his speed, minato takes this I need to know more from both characters, but from what I know so far minato can beat him, and Im not a minato fanboy but lets be real, what can hashirama do to defeat minato, give me facts and I change my opinion, all I know is that he is stronger but not faster.
