Hamilton’s hopes of clinching an unprecedented eighth drivers’ title appear to be dwindling.

In his exclusive interview, Lewis Hamilton acknowledged Red Bull’s remarkable achievements but he remains undeterred, meticulously planning his resurgence to reclaim his throne from the hands of Verstappen, stating, “I think it’s great for Red Bull, I think they should just bask it the glory and then continue to enjoy it we’ll work as hard as we can to to stop that dominance at some stage but it could be that just with the error that’s like has been there in the past I think we as a sport need to work better in terms of how the rules are set so that the fans aren’t deprived of that tight close battles between several teams for for a whole era.”
