Lewis Hamilton teases Mercedes have “something in the pipeline” in bid to catch F1 leaders Red Bull
Hamilton finished 24 seconds behind 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen at the Spanish Gr♏and Prix to match his best result of the season.
The seven-time world champion led home teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell 🌌as Mercedes scored their first double podium of the year, 𝓀a week after debuting their heavily-upgraded W14 car.
And Hamilton revealed Mercedes have🌠 moꦰre updates planned as the team look to reduce their deficit to reigning world champions Red Bull, who have won all seven races in 2023.
"With the current car we have I don't think we'll be matching their performance, but we are working on improvin🔯g the car,” Hamilton said.
”With the current package we are limited to the pace that we had today, but there's a huge amount of work and studying and improvements that we hopefully will🅘 have coming in the future.
"Naturally they should probably also 💛be progressing through the year, so we need to be taking big chu☂nks out of them with every step we take.
"Today th🙈ey were a good few tenths ahead of us, may🔯be half a second ahead of us per lap. On a single lap that's a little bit bigger.
“But I think we are going in the right direction and I know we have ꧒something in the pipeline moving forwards.”
Hamilton, who is set to 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:hold contract talks with Toto Wolf♎f today, said he is f♑ocused on ensuring Mercedes start 2024 on level terms with Red Bull.
"I'm hoping at least by the end of the year it would be great if we could challenge them,” ♍the 38-year-old added.
“But I would say I'm more focused on making sure that we have the car next year to chall🍬enge them from day one.
"The further we continue to push this car this year, the more that impacts next year also in some ways. The more we learn about this c𝄹ar also sets us in the right direction. It's trying to find the right balance.
"They [Red Bull] are so fa𒊎r ahead and ultimately Max💦 will continue to win this year.
"That means they can start on their development for next year sooner and earlier than everyone else if they haven't already and that's the danger.”&nb൩sp;
