But in the next four races, I can’t predict which race we will get closer or which race we will move further back.”
“I think we could have been closer last year. So hopefully this weekend we’ll be a little bit closer to being able to put ourselves in there. If we manage our tactics well at the end this week, then maybe we can actually go toe-to-toe with them.”
Hamilton was last able to win a race at the 2021 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, while Mercedes last won last year in Brazil through George Russell.
Hamilton continued: “Last year Brazil was a great track for us. “And if we get closer to that again this year, then we could have two very strong races. However, in Abu Dhabi, I think the difference could be bigger again. So I think two The next race will be our best chance.”
