Lewis Hamilton admitted it could take the rest of the F1 season for his Mercedes team to close the gap on Red Bull
Lewis Hamilton has conceded it may take Mercedes the entirety of the 2023 Formula One season to close the gap to frontrunners Red Bull, all but writing off his team’s chances of even competing for a win.
“It is going to take us the rest of the year to potentially close that gap,” he said. “If you look at the Red Bull it is just going to continue to evolve most likely. Some cars do plateau in terms of performance. At some point it can’t just keep going but maybe it can. They have a great team around them and I am sure they will continue to add downforce.
“There is a part of me that is just hopeful we find the trick and are straight on to the right track that is not far away from the others,” he said. “We have shown in the past that we can develop quickly and hope that is the case as the potential of the car opens up. I am grateful they are open to making a shift and not being stuck with what we have and I am aware it could take a long time.
