No team is there to stand up to Red Bull. Neither Aston Martin nor Mercedes nor Ferrari. At least for now. The superiority is such that now the most logical thing is to think of a championship in which they fight Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez.
Lewis Hamilton, who was again far from the best in Azerbaijan, awaits the package of improvements that Mercedes is preparing. and he points Imola as the circuit where they can fight Red Bull again. This was stated after the weekend at the Baku circuit.
“I think we knew from the beginning that we would have quite a few races until this update, so we are counting the days to Imola”the seven-time F1 champion has expressed in statements collected by ‘Motorsport’.
“We don’t know exactly how good will the update be, but we know that it will be the beginning of something new for us. Miami should be better, I hope it’s better in terms of pace,” explained George Russell’s teammate.
believes that Miami will be much better than last year: “Last year we struggled a lot with the rebound there, so I think we are in a much better place with our car. I hope we are a little bit closer to the teams up front. We may not be as close to the Red Bulls. because they are too fast, but maybe we can fight the Aston Martins – that would be amazing.”
“We are maximizing the potential of the car. Team winning mentality is great. Everyone is very focused on progressing and getting to where we know we can get… it’s a matter of taking a few steps. I don’t think it’s a failure,” he said.
Hamilton is fourth in the drivers’ championship, twelve points behind Fernando Alonso. Regarding the constructors’ world championship, Mercedes occupies the third place behind Aston Martin and ahead of Ferrari.
