Hamilton: Mercedes must be ‘prepared’ if Red Bull slip up
Red Bull has had an undefeated season so far, winning all 14 rounds of the 2023 campaign. On the other hand, Mercedes has only managed one victory and has been playing catch-up since the start of 2022. Mercedes’ win in Brazil last year was due to Red Bull’s suboptimal set-up, so a similar outcome is needed to challenge Red Bull’s unbeaten streak. Hamilton acknowledges that his team needs to “level up” in order to compete with the reigning champions. In terms of the Singapore Grand Prix, Mercedes is hoping for a more competitive performance compared to last year, but Hamilton remains unsure about their chances. The revised circuit configuration will make the lap easier and potentially reduce Red Bull’s advantage.
