Lewis Hamilton: I’m Confident We Can Create Fantastic Car, But I’ve Heard Red Bull…
Lewis Hamilton, a former Formula One driver, is one of the wealthiest athletes in the world.
Lewis Hamilton particularly profited from Mercedes’ new floor during the Austin Grand Prix.
Although he was disqualified, Hamilton was in the running for the US Grand Prix win. Though he finished second and outperformed the Ferraris in Mexico, he confirmed his good performance there.
After a difficult qualifying session in which he finished sixth behind Daniel Ricciardo, Lewis Hamilton voiced his amazement at his performance in Mexico.
Hamilton told Sky Sports F1, “It’s always a wonderful feeling to simply keep moving forward and putting one foot in front of the other. Sincerely, that was not what I had anticipated.
In contrast to the last race, where we had gotten off to a fast start, this weekend has been incredibly challenging. I went above and beyond this past weekend to try to get the setup just right, and I believe we did a fantastic job. “
Stimulating advancement
Since he hasn’t competed for the title since 2021, Hamilton is inspired for the forthcoming season by Mercedes‘ W14 car’s growth.
He emphasized the value of always having a competitive vehicle available. Hamilton is optimistic that Mercedes can regain its former dominance, even if the team is facing obstacles due to recent regulation changes.
To take on Red Bull head-to-head, he is keen to construct a competitive car.
Hamilton remarked after the finish of the race, “I have complete trust in the team, and I must admit that I am really proud of them. We can definitely construct a fantastic vehicle. Though we can still create fantastic cars, we haven’t in the last two years.”
Pushing Red Bull to the Challenge
Though they have increasingly improved, Mercedes struggled to comprehend the technical criteria that were presented in 2022.
“There are many engineers, and since everyone wishes to go their own route and not imitate anybody else, we are making progress.” However, Hamilton went on, “I’ve heard Red Bull is making progress too.”
“Thus, when it comes to our movements, we need to be quite clinical and deliberate. They already know that, but we had to be losing two and a half tenths into Turn 1 to compete with those guys because they are so fast on the straight.
But I think next year will see some amazing fights if we can get—I’m ready, so if we can get a vehicle that can equal them.”
Red Bull had a strong vehicle this season, so getting back into the title fight won’t be simple.
With their most recent package unveiled in Austin, which offers crucial data for the championship’s closing phases, Mercedes is optimistically gearing up for the 2024 term.
