P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Mercedes is yet to win a Grand Prix this season, with Lewis Hamilton’s own streak extending back to 2021 in Saudia Arabia. Can Mexico be the venue where the Brackley-based squad’s drought ends or will its spell run onward?
Lewis Hamilton believes that Mercedes has a chance to be competitive and fight for victory at the Mexico City Grand Prix, as it is one of the remaining opportunities for the team this season. Despite not having won a race yet this year, Mercedes’ only non-Red Bull victory came in Singapore with Ferrari and Carlos Sainz. In the last race in the United States, Hamilton showed strong pace before being disqualified. With only five races left, Mercedes aims to avoid going winless for the first time since 2011. Hamilton considers Mexico and Brazil as their best chances to secure a win, citing their performance at those circuits last year. However, he anticipates a larger gap in performance at the Abu Dhabi race.
