Mercedes started the year in Bahrain as the fourth-fastest team behind ꧅Red Bull, Aston Martin and Ferrari, but have slowly made progress throughout the season.

Speaking ahead of the Las Vegas Grand Prix, Hamilton conceded he didn’t expect Mercedes to be second in the constructors’ championship or still be in contention for the runner-up spot behind 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen.

“30 points in two races is… he [Perez] would have to have two disasters and I would hav꧃e to be second basically,” Hamilton said. “It really doesn’t make any difference ൲if I am second or third. 

“We’ve still had an amazing year given the car♍ we’ve had. We never thought we’d be fighting for second in the constructors’ and knocking on the door of the most dominant car probably of our era. 

“I am just grate꧙ful to be where we are. Just having a half decent season, mu🃏ch better than last year.”

Me🌳rcedes endured their worst weekend of the season last time out at Interlagos.

While Hamilton feels Las Vegas will be an improvement, he’s unsure how competitive the W14 will ꦰbe given the long straights.

“Definitely more than the last one,” he added. “Still I think it’s going to be a challenge g𒊎etting the tyres working this weekend. W🌟e’re often not the quickest on the straights so that will be a challenge to see if we can not lose too much on the straights but keep up with everyone in the corners. 

“It’s not th𝔍e most technical of circuits so hopefully that makes it a little bit easier.”
