P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Lewis Hamilton says he is not “dazzled” by where Mercedes currently are and is “thinking quite long-term” as he looks to take the fight to Red Bull in F1 2024.
Lewis Hamilton, the seven-time world champion, has recently achieved consecutive second place finishes in the United States and Mexico City races, although he was disqualified from the Austin race due to a post-race car check failure. Hamilton is pleased with the progress Mercedes has made, finding a better balance and regaining his confidence with the W14 after a recent floor upgrade. However, despite Mercedes’ previous win at Sao Paulo Grand Prix, Hamilton remains cautious about his chances of ending his winless streak in Brazil. He acknowledges that Red Bull has been performing well and anticipates a strong performance from them, but he is prepared to challenge them if given the opportunity. Hamilton’s focus is more long-term, aiming to solidify second place in the Constructors’ championship and avoid a repeat of last year’s empty-handed result in Brazil, where he has previously won three times and clinched his first world championship in 2008.
