Hamilton: Mercedes need to “level up” to catch Verstappen and Red Bull
Red Bull has been dominating the 2023 F1 season, winning all 14 races so far, with Verstappen securing 12 of those victories. Verstappen aims to continue his momentum at the Singapore Grand Prix, where he hopes to secure his 10th consecutive win and move closer to his third consecutive world title. Hamilton, a seven-time world champion, expressed that he doesn’t want to rely on Red Bull facing misfortune to beat Verstappen and is focused on leveling up and doing a better job. Mercedes is hopeful that the high-downforce Marina Bay street circuit will be more suited to their W14 car after struggling at Monza. Hamilton believes they were relatively competitive at Singapore last year and hopes their car has progressed significantly since then, aiming to fight for a podium finish.
