Lewis Hamilton says the data download he got from following Max Verstappen’s Red Bull closely in Austin’s Formula 1 sprint race has exposed the work Mercedes still has to do.
The seven-time world champion emerged as Verstappen’s main challenger in the sprint at the United States Grand Prix after snatching second place from Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc on the exit of the first corner. Hamilton appeared to be able to match Verstappen in pace terms for the first few laps but, as tyre degradation kicked in, his Red Bull rival was able to extend his advantage to comfortably pull clear by the chequered flag.
“It's no small feat for us to truly catch them for next year. They will be progressing at a steep rate, as they've got an amazing development team to make it even steeper for us to be able to close that gap. But I’m going to put 100% faith in my team that we can do it.” Hamilton reckoned that Verstappen’s pace advantage over the rest of the field in the sprint was around half a second – which is massive in F1 terms.
