Even Lewis Hamilton, like many before him, had to learn the art of being content with the bitterness, at least for a year. The English came, a year ago, in Austin in full global struggle against a Max Verstappen not yet titled. Today, and it seems like a very short time ago, Lewis lands in the United States with a badly born single-seater, looking at what looked like a little boy and seeing in him a twice World Champion.
Hamilton looks forward to a promising weekend
So many times this season when it was thought that the W13 could fight for something big, it was quickly proven wrong. If to promise a competitive car on a layout like COTA he's the team's number one driver, one is led to believe him. The two British drivers hope to find in the fast corners of Austin a warm blanket to soothe the wounds of a year below expectations.
Lewis expressed himself on the subject, giving some more hope to the fans of the silver arrows: “I don't want to set too many expectations, but I know we will try them all. In circuit like this our machine works better... "
Lewis: Instructions for beating number ones
The seven-times world champion looked at the Circus from a different perspective when asked how to beat the Red Bull. English he doesn't consider Mercedes the only team capable of doing it, On the contrary… "How to get back to beating Red Bull? Well, we at Mercedes are human too and we make mistakes. Even in Ferrari there is a lot of strength and experience…. We have a great leader, with great fans and great communication. Toto is a leader capable of 'elevating' people, leading them to live their private lives well. And this pushes to grow the desire to be part of the team. But I hope we'll be back to beating Red Bull soon and I hope Ferrari can fight too. But there are also other teams that have shown that they have potential".
