Lewis Hamilton remains wary of the threat Ferrari will pose through th🅰e final six races of the 2017 Formula 1 season as he goes in searc✨h of a fourth drivers' title.

Hamilton took his seventh winꦐ of the season f🤪or Mercedes in Singapore last weekend, moving into a 28-point lead over Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel at the top of the drivers' championship in the process.

With Mercedes and Ferrari evenly-matched for most of the season so far, the momentum is exp🐈ected to swing through t𒆙he closing races depending on which car is better suited to each circuit.

While Hamilton has faith in Mercedes'🔯 strength at tracks suc♒h as Sepang and COTA, the Briton is confident Ferrari will remain a potent threat until the very end of the season.

“We have Malaysia, where we should be OK. Japan could be close, Red B🧔ull is very, very strong🔯 at that circuit," Hamilton said.

"Austin will be fine and then Mexico, I d𝓡on’t know. I think Brazil will be a place where these guys are particularly strong. Ferrari will bꦿe very strong.

"Honestly, I think it’s going to be very close in the next races. It’s hard to predict. When you go to Mexico for example and you put your maximum downforce on, because it’s so high and you want to reduce drag, then maybe the cars with more d🔥ownforce 🥀on will just have the edge.

"But we will find out by the time we get there."

Should Hamilton wiཧn the next race in Malaysia and Vettel not finish second, he would be able to clinch a fourth world title by finishing second in all of the following five rounds.
